even tho he was brutal i actually found respect for him when he wanted to save rome i remember getting f's for writign papers about him and praising him lol

@HerrCollier also the actions and conspiracies made against made him more and more paranoid and drove him eventually to madness.

Legend says nero started the fire so he could build his palace on the ruins ....which was latter distruide and now stand the coloseum

[HerrCollier]

Or, in short--he honestly cared about Rome and it's future, but his madness ultimately doomed his actions by proxy as he became more obsessed with art and song and culture than with real, honest affairs of state, such as cost, money, budget, state security in the military sense, and so on. It's a shame, becuase he really COULD have been something good for the Empire....had he not been INSANE.

[HerrCollier]

By all accounts, the only objective conclusions that can be drawn about Nero is that he was clearly insane--even insane men can have redeeming moments of clarity and action. My personal guess, however, is that he already had some sort of mental disorder or three, and while he honestly did care about Rome and it's future, those disorders caused him to effectively focus on art and music as the lynchpins of culture and civilization to the degree that most madmen would probably take it.

Thanks for posting these series episodes! This DVD set is not available in region 1 U.S. format (I don't know why it's not but it should be) - thanks again.

@117425yt There's one problem with your theory - who would finance creating this if they could't sell it and would give it away? What would be the incentive for the people who filmed that movie? Show your appreciation to knowledge by investing into it and buying the movies if you wish!

Any decent Emperor could of helped the people in the fire as Nero did, and I respect Nero for that help. But Nero was a horrid Emperor, he was consumed in darkness and took it out on the Empire.

Great show, the intro to this episode always gives me the chills. :)
