The book explores the personalities and events that shaped his reign, including court politics, conflicts within the imperial family, the Great Fire of Rome, persecution and rebellion throughout the Empire. It also considers the development of Nero's reputation as a cruel and decadent ruler, separating historical evidence from the legends that accumulated around his name.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216354787667,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421090038099,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/the-reign-of-nero-folio-society-53","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
