Meer over het boek

Nero's reign from 54 to 68 AD is marked by extravagance and brutality, as he indulged in the arts while thousands suffered. Known for his alleged role in the Great Fire of Rome, he scapegoated Christians for the disaster. His tyrannical rule and complex personality, characterized by an Oedipus complex, contributed to his unpopularity among the Roman populace. Living a life of excess, Nero's story culminates in his tragic suicide at just 30 years old, reflecting the tumultuous nature of his leadership and the era.
