<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Macromius, post: 4829886, member: 90772&quot;]The source of confusion about Nero&#039;s reign, and the historical revisionism which claims Nero wasn&#039;t really such a bad guy, is rooted in this: The first part of Nero&#039;s reign was beneficent and stable. Thanks to his teacher/mentor Seneca Nero emphasized clemency and was considered a fair and capable emperor by the senate and the people.</p><p><br /></p><p>That all went to hell in the second half of his reign when the &quot;rockstar Nero&quot; personality took over. Marcus Aurelius, who unlike Nero was very reasoned and conservative, called him a monster. I don&#039;t doubt he was right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
