<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, post: 4862046, member: 99554&quot;]It was a quote... of my opinion...based on what many historians wrote about his &quot;pre-Emperor&quot; life. For example Suetonius :</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;<i>This was, indeed, extremely difficult, after he became emperor, as before that time, and even during the reign of his father, he lay under public odium and censure.</i>&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;<i>Besides his cruelty, he lay under the suspicion of giving way to habits of luxury, as he often prolonged his revels till midnight with the most riotous of his acquaintance.</i>&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;<i>He was supposed, besides, to be of a rapacious disposition; for it is certain, that, in causes which came before his father, he used to offer his interest for sale, and take bribes. In short, people publicly expressed an unfavourable opinion of him, and said he would prove another Nero.</i>&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
