Propelled to power by the age of 17 by an ambitious mother,
self-indulgent to the point of criminality, inadequate, paranoid
and the perpetrator of heinous crimes including matricide and
fratricide, and deposed and killed by 31, Nero is one of Rome's
most infamous Emperors. But has history treated him fairly? Or is
the popular view of Nero as a capricious and depraved individual a
travesty of the truth and a gross injustice to Rome's fifth
emperor? This new biography will look at Nero's life with fresh
eyes. While showing the man 'warts and all', it also caste a
critical eye on the 'libels' which were perpetrated on him, such as
claiming he was a madman, many of which were most probably made up
to suit the needs of the Flavians, who had overthrown his dynasty.
