Introduction
When anyone, at any age, starts to learn about Classical
Antiquity,
Nero is an inevitable and juicy subject. The ‘Crazy Emperor’, who seemed to honestly believe in
his own divinity and did not care for
his people, helps sketch a past so different from our own present, in all aspects, that it almost seems like a fantasy. This vision of
Nero has long gone uncontested, with historians relying mostly on the ancient writers like Suetonius,
Tacitus and Cassius Dio. Upon further inspection, however, some parts of it do, actually, seem to be just that: fantasy.
History, as they say, is written by the victors, those who need to clearly depict their own superiority with regard to their predecessors
