Book excerpt: Nero's personality and crimes have always intrigued historians and writers of fiction. However, his reign also illuminates the nature of the Julio-Claudian Principate. Nero's suicide brought to an end the dynasty Augustus had founded, and placed in jeopardy the political system he had devised. Miriam T. Griffin's authoratitive survey of Nero's reign incorporates both a chronological account, as well as an analysis of the reasons for Nero's collapse under the pressure of his role as emperor.

Download or read book Nero written by Richard Holland and published by Sutton Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book does not whitewash Nero, but it aims to show that he was more of a liberator than an oppressor, that he contrived to rule in peace rather than in the militaristic way of his predecessors, and that he was both enlightened and civilized, a man who enjoyed poetry, music, philosophy and the theatre, as well as erotic delights. Cheered for his performances with the lyre by thousands of screaming followers, his patronage of the arts also left the legacy of the Golden Palace with its rich gold decoration and murals later copied by Raphael and other Renaissance artists in the Vatican. Through social, cultural and archæological evidence, here we encounter Nero imaginatively as a man, not as a monster. [Book jacket].

Download or read book Nero written by David Shotter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book Nero written by John F. Drinkwater and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book portrays Nero, not as the murderous tyrant of tradition, but as a young man ever-more reluctant to fulfil his responsibilities as emperor and ever-more anxious to demonstrate his genuine skills as a sportsman and artist. This reluctance caused him to allow others to rule, and rule surprisingly well, in his name. On its own terms, the Neronian empire was in fact remarkably successful. Nero's senior ministers were many and various, but notably they included a number of powerful women, such as his mother, Agrippina II, and his second and third wives, Poppaea Sabina and Statilia Messalina. Using the most recent archaeological, epigraphic, numismatic and literary research, the book explores issues such as court-politics, banter and free speech; literary, technological and scientific advances; the Fire of 64, 'the persecution of Christians' and Nero's 'Golden House'; and the huge underlying strength, both constitutional and financial, of the Julio-Claudian empire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Refutes the commonly-held perception that Nero should be understood as the Antichrist figure in the Bible, and argues instead that this paradigm was a product of late antiquity.
