<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2485359, member: 76194&quot;]Poor Nero...he got such a bad wrap just because he wanted to sing and act for his people. Sure, he liked to see people tied up to stakes and have wild beasts released upon them to savage the victim&#039;s private parts, but which Emperor wasn&#039;t guilty of enjoying and holding such public executions back then? The crowds ate that stuff up. I don&#039;t think Nero was worse than any of them, he just happened to tick off the senate because of his flamboyant personality, and the Flavians did the rest by slandering Nero after his death to make Vespasian look like a night in shinning armor. The fact that hundreds of years after his death people still left flowers at Nero&#039;s grave and tokens of his were popular says a lot more about Nero than the slanders of Flavian historians.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
