Nero

"The reign of Nero is often judged to be the embodiment of the extravagance and corruption that have, for many, come to symbolize ancient Rome. David Shotter provides a reassessment of this view in this accessible introduction to Nero, emperor of Rome from AD 54 AD 68." "This new edition has been revised throughout to take account of recent research in the field. Also included is an expanded bibliography and a new index."--Jacket.
