Description: Gives an account of Nero's final days and why his mistakes cost him his throne and his life.
Nero was the last Roman Emperor who had any hereditary connection to Julius Caesar. His real name was Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus. The end of his reign as ruler marked the beginning of civil war in Rome. There was much speculation at the time of whether or not Nero was the rightful leader of Rome. He came to rule at the minimum age allowed at the time which was sixteen. He gained his position, although he may not have known it, through underhanded tricks and deception carried out by his mother, Agripina. Nero came to rule with an incredible amount of pressure on him but the young emperor handled it well. This did not last long. He soon began to show carelessness in his rule. Obviously the pressures of the throne and the persistence of his corrupt mother to have a share of the power proved to be too much. He would soon meet a disastrous end.
