Summary
If you want to discover more about the captivating life of Nero, then pay attention...
Nero’s extravagance has become nothing short of legendary. In its day, it was incredibly destructive to his people, particularly after the Great Fire of Rome - a fire that he may have even started.
Instead of assisting the ten districts that had been damaged by the fire, Nero took advantage of the extra space to build himself a golden palace. He murdered, among others, his own mother, his ex-wife, and his stepbrother. He was additionally a rapist, a child molester, and a brutal abuser.
But he was also an artist. At least, he believed himself to be one, and he had wanted to be one ever since he was a child. But an unlucky roll of the dice of fate ripped him from his aunt’s comfortable home and dumped him in the Roman palace, and eventually, he was thrown onto the Roman throne in 54 CE.
The next fourteen 14 would be some of the worst in Roman history, showcasing the very worst of humanity. Because, the truth is that Nero thought he was an artist. But history reveals that he was little more than a monster.
In Nero: A Captivating Guide to the Last Emperor of the Julio-Claudian Dynasty and How He Ruled the Roman Empire, you will discover chapters, such as:
- The First Emperors
- Exile
- Agrippina Pulls the Strings
- Matricide
- Right off the Rails
- Rome Ablaze
- Regret
- The Last Killing
- And much, much more!

It was pretty easy to understand, although there were a few sentences that were maybe written wrong so it took me listening to it twice to get the info, but not that difficult. Thanks

Excellent
This is probably an excellent second book to get about Nero for the analysis of the contemporary evidence, but I still don't know what would be the best book to start with.

An underrated historical character.
A fine telling of one of history’s most infamous rulers. A truly dramatic man, whose story is told with a somewhat subjective point of view. Most sources aren’t, so that’s a plus.

Well Written
The book dwells into his life through historical accounts and is careful not to present final judgment in any which way thereby preserving and bringing Nero's character more vividly into focus.
