Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nero's reign (AD 54–68) witnessed some of the most memorable events in Roman history, such as the rebellion of Boudica and the first persecution of the Christians—not to mention Nero's murder of his mother, his tyranny and extravagance, and his suicide, which plunged the empire into civil war. The Emperor Nero gathers into a single collection the major sources for Nero's life and rule, providing students of Nero and ancient Rome with the most authoritative and accessible reader there is. The Emperor Nero features clear, contemporary translations of key literary sources along with translations and explanations of representative inscriptions and coins issued under Nero. The informative introduction situates the emperor's reign within the history of the Roman Empire, and the book's concise headnotes to chapters place the source material in historical and biographical context. Passages are accompanied by detailed notes and are organized around events, such as the Great Fire of Rome, or by topic, such as Nero's relationships with his wives. Complex events like the war with Parthia—split up among several chapters in Tacitus's Annals—are brought together in continuous narratives, making this the most comprehensible and user-friendly sourcebook on Nero available. Some images inside the book are unavailable due to digital copyright restrictions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The years from the battle of Actium to the death of Nero stand at the very heart of Roman history. Yet the sources of this key period, particularly the inscriptions, papyri and coins, are not readily accessible. Crucial new discoveries remain buried in learned periodicals, and now that the study of the ancient world is widespread among those without Latin and Greek, the lack of translations is proving a serious handicap. Augustus to Nero, first published in 1985, contains numerous texts not only for students of traditional political history, but also of those interested in social and economic history. An introductory essay establishes a broad methodological framework within which each text may be understood. The focus throughout is on less well-known literary evidence: for example, the significant poetry of Crinagoras and Calpurnius Siculus. Inaccessible sources are here collected and translated: brief notes are supplied to help the reader.

Book excerpt: The reign of Nero is often judged to be the embodiment of the extravagance and the corruption that have, for many, come to symbolise ancient Rome. David Shotter provides a reassessment of this view in this accessible introduction to Nero, emperor of Rome from 54 to 68 AD. All the major issues are discussed including: • Nero’s early life and accession to power • Nero’s perception of himself • Nero’s domestic and international policies • the reasons for Nero’s fall from power and its aftermath. This new edition has been revised throughout to take account of recent research in the field.

Book excerpt: Bestselling classical historian Barry Strauss delivers “an exceptionally accessible history of the Roman Empire…much of Ten Caesars reads like a script for Game of Thrones” (The Wall Street Journal)—a summation of three and a half centuries of the Roman Empire as seen through the lives of ten of the most important emperors, from Augustus to Constantine. In this essential and “enlightening” (The New York Times Book Review) work, Barry Strauss tells the story of the Roman Empire from rise to reinvention, from Augustus, who founded the empire, to Constantine, who made it Christian and moved the capital east to Constantinople. During these centuries Rome gained in splendor and territory, then lost both. By the fourth century, the time of Constantine, the Roman Empire had changed so dramatically in geography, ethnicity, religion, and culture that it would have been virtually unrecognizable to Augustus. Rome’s legacy remains today in so many ways, from language, law, and architecture to the seat of the Roman Catholic Church. Strauss examines this enduring heritage through the lives of the men who shaped it: Augustus, Tiberius, Nero, Vespasian, Trajan, Hadrian, Marcus Aurelius, Septimius Severus, Diocletian, and Constantine. Over the ages, they learned to maintain the family business—the government of an empire—by adapting when necessary and always persevering no matter the cost. Ten Caesars is a “captivating narrative that breathes new life into a host of transformative figures” (Publishers Weekly). This “superb summation of four centuries of Roman history, a masterpiece of compression, confirms Barry Strauss as the foremost academic classicist writing for the general reader today” (The Wall Street Journal).

Book excerpt: "Here is wisdom: Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six" (Revelation 13:18). This full-color book examines the life of Nero Caesar, the insane, homicidal dictator of Imperial Rome. Laying blame on the Christians for the Great Fire of Rome that decimated much of the city, Nero rebuilt a large pleasure palace and a public garden where he executed multitudes of early believers in bizarre reenactments of pagan myths. As he slid deeper into madness, Nero proclaimed that he was the all-powerful king of the world - the sun god and savior who had been prophesied to arise in the East - some said from the city of Jerusalem. A little-known fact of history is that Nero launched a war against Judea because he hoped to squelch the messianic fervor in the region and move his throne to Jerusalem. // Using some recently uncovered documentation, the case for a preterist interpretation of Revelation 13:18 is succinctly laid out with the aid of visually appealing graphic illustrations. A fascinating look into a too-often neglected area of study, this book is organized in the form of questions frequently posed by critics and answered by well-attested yet seldomly taught evidences for the preterist view. // -Is Nero the Beast of Revelation? - How did Nero's women play a role in the birthing of the Christian Church? - What were the circumstances of the Apostle Paul's first imprisonment in Rome? - Why does the account of The Book of Acts end so abruptly after chapter 28? - Why did Nero build a nearly 100-foot tall statue of himself? - What is the evidence that 666 equals the number of Nero? - When was Paul's second imprisonment under Nero? - Was Nero's persecution of Christians localized or empire-wide? - Did Peter write his Second Epistle from Jerusalem or Rome? - Was the Book of Revelation written while Nero was the Emperor? - How did Nero's persecution of the Church end? - Was Nero really that bad? - How is the "Neron Caesar Papyrus" a key to a preterist interpretation of Revelation 13:18? - Is the correct spelling of Nero Caesar in Hebrew actually NRWN QSR? - Why would Greek-speaking Christians count the Number of the Beast in Hebrew? - What is the Mark of the Beast? - Is the Beast the same Satanic entity as the Antichrist? - What are sixteen marks of the Beast in Revelation 13 that point to Nero? - How is the Beast of Revelation portrayed in popular culture?
