Nero by Jurgen Malitz

Description

The fifth Roman emperor, Nero has gone down in history as the archetypal narcissistic tyrant. In this fascinating new biography, Jrgen Malitz invites readers to reconsider Neros reputation.
Malitz focuses on the growing tension between Neros artistic tendencies and the political role for which his ambitious mother, Agrippina the Younger, groomed him. The author reveals how, after sound beginnings under Seneca and other serious men, Nero succumbed to his love of acting; and how, while using the arts to please the people, Nero alienated the senate with his increasingly autocratic style. Finally, he explains how Nero met his untimely end following a failure of nerves in the face of rebellion.
Neros crimes are notorious: he murdered his mother and all possible contestants to the throne and brutally persecuted the Christians. Despite Neros notoriety, Malitz outlines the often forgotten aspects of his reign: his early, surprisingly responsible political agenda, his initial popularity, patronage of the arts, and innovations in architecture.
This original biography allows readers to form a balanced judgment of this divisive and controversial Emperor.
