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.
