Episode 279
Today's topic is the Roman Emperor Nero, or Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus to be more exact. Most famous today for possibly enjoying the great fire of Rome a bit too much and for persecuting Christians afterwards, we take a look at the actual history. What all did Nero get up to that has made him a villain to this day? How much is true and how much is made up by political enemies? Take as listen and see what we could find.
