<p>[QUOTE=&quot;octavius, post: 4502141, member: 100777&quot;]Certainly many ancient authors did exaggerate, such as Suetonius. We know there was a great deal of animosity between the senatorial class and imperial household. But I don&#039;t believe any historians, ancient or modern, who actually dispute that Nero was indeed responsible for his own mother&#039;s murder. Regardless of Agrippina&#039;s character, this was a most horrible crime. If someone is capable of killing one&#039;s mother, is it so inconceivable to believe he would be capable of eliminating his step brother and beating his wife? </p><p>Sometimes we tend to believe what we want to believe at the expense of the elephant in the room.</p><p>It reminds me of that old joke... &quot;Well, aside from that incident , Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1116528[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
