Born in Antium in 37 A.D., Nero was originally named L. Domitius Ahenobarbus. After his adoption by Claudius in 50 A.D., his name was changed to Nero Claudius Caesar Drusus Germanicus. After succeeding to the throne in 54 A.D. Nero decided to free himself from all restraints even though the government was in the capable hands of Seneca and Burrus. After Burrus died in 62 A.D. and Seneca retired, Nero’s conduct became unbridled. Although he was most enthusiastic about art and sport his extravagances and vanity made him most unpopular. Nero is remembered as a licentious emperor.
Did Nero start the great fire which destroyed half of Rome in 64 A.D.? Rumor has it that he did! It’s said Nero played the fiddle while Rome burned. Despite inadequate evidence, Nero blamed the fire on the Christians.
Finally in 68 A.D., revolt broke out in Gaul, Spain, and Africa. The Praetorians (guards) deserted him and Nero fled and committed suicide.
