Description

The Roman emperor Nero is remembered by history as the vain and immoral monster who fiddled while Rome burned. Champlin reinterprets Nero’s enormities on their own terms, as the self-conscious performances of an imperial actor with a formidable grasp of Roman history and mythology and a canny sense of his audience.
