Book Description:
|
The Roman emperor Nero is remembered by history as the vain and immoral monster who fiddled while Rome burned. Champlin reinterprets Nero's enormities on their own terms, as the self-conscious performances of an imperial actor with a formidable grasp of Roman history and mythology and a canny sense of his audience.
