  • nero was a very intelligent man,contrary to what people believe

  • @scorpios814 Really? Any evidence to support your claim?

  • I noticed some differences between what was shown in this film on the BBC and other documentaries here on YT. The strongest difference being the burning of Rome which here suggested that Nero was innocent but others suggest that it may have been on his orders as gangs were deliberately causing arson and Nero himself built his palace on destroyed land.

    Of course the sources are somewhat vague today. Anyone care to add anything to this?

  • @alanheath

    Good point. There were certainly such rumours shortly after the great fire of Rome but most sources say Nero did all he could to put out the fire. BBC chose this line because it is the one with which most historians go.

    

  • I saw this on YT last year - unfortunately no longer here in full length. Absolutely brillaint.

  • @alanheath

    Pretty intense when you first watch it, I agree.

    I can give you a full download link if you like?

  • @sqccccccccc so he had to be very clever to kill his own mother and get away with it. Also he had had been seen in the early years of his reign as a promissing leader. But of course these are only opinions. They don't add up to facts. Nero is still mysterious.

  • @meatpie29 He killed his own mother, who survived Caligula.

  • @ZennahMahdi31 pretty sketchy, i dont think quite fits lol x

  • Nero was the only sane one there. Sad that this world is overun by religious nuts. Just fucking unacceptable!

  • @UnitedKorean Butthurt christfag.
