Roman Emperor's Nero the Tyrant

This book is about 10 of the Greatest Roman emperors starting with Augustus Caesar and ending with the emperor who led the collapse. I wanted to read about Rome because I loved visiting Italy and Learning about Italian history especially the Roman Republic/ Emperor. The Roman Empire has a slight relevance to Catholism Particular which is very Enlightening because that’s the religion that I was brought up in.  


Roman City

      

Nero created the best coins in Roman History. He was the strongest and most beautiful currency he was a tyrant and the common people in Rome loved Nero. The Monarchy of Rome was somewhat accepted by the Stoics because he had some redeeming qualities, however he was mostly looked down on by stoics for being a tyrant.

During Nero’s rein, fifty Years after Augustus died, the worst fire broke out in Rome’s history, a city that commonly faced disastrous fires due to wooden buildings. Rome had very few marble or brick buildings and little water during the summer making fires disastrous. Nero, the Emperor broke all the rules, a celebrity and a star which made him immortal. The Roman Currency was the strongest it ever was in the course of Roman History and during this time they produced the best currency that they could produce. Nero may have been a tyrant, but he had alliances with the common people.

The Common people in Rome loved Nero and cheered him on but some of the other Roman Elite hated him and abhorred him but others liked him like the common people. In 62 ADS, Nero Executed Senators that he accused of treason he became labeled a large tyrant. Nero became hated by the stoics who were slightly okay with the monarchy but hated tyrants and wanted a moderate, gentle and wise, not a tyrant. Nero was not the proper character type of an Emperor, but he did have some redeeming qualities, however he was a tyrant.

Nero persecuted Christians harshly even executing them because they went against his values and what he wanted. Nero did a great job of doing some parts of his job like winning over the common people, he was a great builder, and a superb impresario and he created a cultural renaissance. Nero built the largest establishment and house of anyone during the Roman Empire.  Nero built the largest House of anyone in the empire.

Nero was a terrible Christian who executed their values, and he was a great builder and created a superb temple to himself and palace the largest in Rome. He was the largest of anyone in his empire. He minted the best coins in the Roman Empire. Nero may have been a tyrant and had alliances with the common people.
