Nero was Roman Emperor from 54 to 68, and the last in the Julio-Claudian dynasty. Nero was adopted by his great-uncle Claudius to become his heir and successor, and succeeded to the throne in 54 following Claudius' death.
Nero focused much of his attention on diplomacy, trade, and enhancing the cultural life of the Empire. He ordered theaters built and promoted athletic games. During his reign, the redoubtable general Corbulo conducted a successful war and negotiated peace with the Parthian Empire. His general Suetonius Paulinus crushed a revolt in Britain. Nero annexed the Bosporan Kingdom to the Empire and began the First Roman–Jewish War.
In 64 AD, most of Rome was destroyed in the Great Fire of Rome, which many Romans believed Nero himself had started in order to clear land for his planned palatial complex, the Domus Aurea. In 68, the rebellion of Vindex in Gaul and later the acclamation of Galba in Hispania drove Nero from the throne. Facing assassination, he committed suicide on 9 June 68 (the first Roman emperor to do so). His death ended the Julio-Claudian Dynasty, sparking a brief period of civil wars known as the Year of the Four Emperors. Nero's rule is often associated with tyranny and extravagance. He is known for many executions, including that of his mother, and the probable murder by poison of his stepbrother Britannicus.

If you like history,and need to learn about Nero, read this book. The downside is the print was quite small, but I managed to read it without glasses. Others might find it difficult.The story of the Julian-Claudian line of Roman rulers needs to be read from start to finish. Begin with Augustus and end with Nero. It is quite a ride.
Spoiler: After Nero was killed, they were all dead. An amazing story.

Straightforward, to the point and very readable. Gives a good insight into this monster.
A good basic history. Written in simple terms. Includes many moral judgments.
An exceptional read. Especially for someone who may not think they like history.
I found this interesting enough I've searched for other works by this author/publisher.
An excellent look at a very evil figure out of Ancient Rome.
Very entertaining.
Expected a boring subject but I was pleasantly surprised. Good price and fast delivery.
This is a play and is hardly readable. I didn't finish it.
Thank you so much!
