| Publisher Description: NeroNero. The very name seems to embody the character of a tyrant. The years of his reign come down to us with tales full of self-serving totalitarianism. Wasn't he the one that fiddled while Rome burned after all? Wasn't this the mad monarch who wished to embark upon a building project, so he set the old buildings that were in his way on fire? But besides this power-mad tyranny, what do we know about Nero? Surely even the most despotic dictator has a good side? Come along with us as we explore the multifaceted nature of a man who is often presented as a one-dimensional, dictatorial caricature. Inside you will read about...✓ A Wedding and a Funeral ✓ The Great Fire of Rome ✓ Killing His Wife and Marrying His Manservant ✓ The Jewish-Roman War ✓ Nero's Suicide ✓ The Year of the Four Emperors And much more |
