About the book

Nero examines the life and reign of one of the most notorious emperors of ancient Rome. The book explores his rise to power, relationship with his mother Agrippina, artistic ambitions, political decisions and increasingly violent rule. It also considers the difficult problem of separating historical fact from hostile ancient accounts that helped create Nero's enduring reputation as a symbol of imperial excess and cruelty.
