About this listen
This week on Nowt But History, we dive into the bizarre, brutal and often unbelievable life of Rome’s most infamous emperor — Nero.
From a teenager suddenly handed the keys to the Roman Empire, to a ruler accused of murdering his own family, performing on stage like a wannabe rock star, and possibly fiddling while Rome burned, Nero’s reign is one of the wildest stories in Roman history.
Was he truly the mad tyrant history remembers, or was some of it ancient propaganda from the enemies he left behind?
Join us as we untangle the myth from the madness — covering palace conspiracies, power struggles, questionable artistic ambitions, and the dramatic downfall of the man who once ruled the most powerful empire on earth.
Because when it comes to Nero… the line between emperor and absolute chaos gets very thin.
