<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1940436, member: 26302&quot;]Nero was tainted by historians who were personally affected by some purges ordered after assasination attempts. I am not saying Nero was a great guy, but if he was so universally hated why then were people claiming to be Nero or Nero&#039;s heir all over the empire for many years? Evidently the common people of the empire liked and respected Nero, it was only the elite in Rome itself that feared him. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, even amongst Roman emperors he was no where near the worst. Gaius, Elagabulus, and many others were worst. Amongst the whole world Nero would not even be worthy of mention versus the monsters throughout history. I honestly believe if it were not for early Christian martyrs and a couple of historians with personal grudges Nero might have gone down as an average emperor at worst.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
