About this listen

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.
