Description
"David Shotter looks at the source material - literary, historical and material - on which our judgements of Nero have been based and discusses the reliability of the ancient accounts of his reign in the light of their authors' own priorities. Rather than presenting Nero as a timeless monster he shows him in the context of first-century Rome - as a player in the development of the Imperial system of government and as a product of the often treacherous and bloody history of the Julian and Claudian families. Nero, he argues was not the madman of popular myth, nor is there any real evidence that he thought of himself as a god."--Jacket
