ROMAN EMPEROR, NERO IN STONE
beautiful black and gray graphic
bust of rome's most notorious ruler, NERO. Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus
Germanicus (15 December AD 37–9 June AD 68), born Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus,
also called Nero Claudius Caesar Drusus Germanicus, was the fifth and last Roman
emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. Nero was adopted by his great uncle
Claudius to become heir to the throne. As Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus
Germanicus, he succeeded to the throne on 13 October 54, following Claudius's
death. Nero ruled from 54 to 68, focusing much of his attention on diplomacy,
trade, and increasing the cultural capital of the empire. He ordered the
building of theaters and promoted athletic games. His reign included a
successful war and negotiated peace with the Parthian Empire (58–63), the
suppression of the British revolt (60–61) and improving relations with Greece.
The First Roman-Jewish War (66–70) started during his reign. In 68 a military
coup drove Nero from the throne. Facing execution, he committed suicide on 9
June 68. Nero's rule is often associated with tyranny and extravagance. He is
known for a number of executions, including those of his mother and adoptive
brother, as the emperor who "fiddled while Rome burned" and as an early
persecutor of Christians. This view is based upon the main surviving sources for
Nero's reign—Tacitus, Suetonius and Cassius Dio. Few surviving sources paint
Nero in a favorable light. Some sources, though, including those mentioned
above, portray him as an emperor who was popular with the common Roman people,
especially in the East. The study of Nero is problematic as some modern
historians question the reliability of ancient sources when reporting on Nero's
tyrannical acts.
