<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Limes, post: 4500482, member: 101013&quot;]Interesting post and question! </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s my view. I dont believe we can draw any such conclusion based on our current, modern view of things that happened back then. I mean, the Roman world, morals and customs are something completely different. Our &#039;bad&#039; is nothing like their &#039;bad&#039;. </p><p>Secondly, I do think this question needs to be answered from the perspective of that time, which is difficult, because sources from that time are hardly objective. Nero was murderous? But name one emperor, even the &#039;good&#039; ones, that was not. Nero was extravagant? Name one emperor that did not bath in luxery. Nero built an enormous palace for himself? Perhaps his mistake was not to build one in the countryside, like Hadrian, or Tiberius on Capri. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do admire Nero due to the artistic quality of his coins which appeal many of use even today. You have some really nice coins, [USER=72790]@kevin McGonigal[/USER]. My coins are shown below. </p><p><br /></p><p>On a side note, what is up with Agrippina!? Sister to Caligula; did she have a sexual relationship with him? And then marry Claudius and killing him, really? And trying to rule the empire &#039;over&#039; Nero&#039;s head? Really? </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1116097[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1116098[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1116099[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
