The book by Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor I. O. Knyazky is dedicated to the personality of one of the most famous Roman emperors - Nero. The ruler of the Roman Empire, vilified by Christians as the Antichrist, repeatedly cursed by Roman writers as the cruelest tyrant who destroyed the most worthy of the Romans, has attracted the attention of historians for almost two millennia. A student and protégé of the great philosopher Seneca, who condemned his teacher to death... A matricide... The first persecutor of Christians, the culprit of the death of the apostles Peter and Paul... At the same time, Nero was a fan of high theatrical art, disgusted by the bloody gladiator fights, the usual entertainment of the Romans. Nero was an actor, singer, musician. Even parting with life, he grieved not for the lost imperial power, he exclaimed: "What a great artist is dying!" The book offered to the reader tells about these tragic pages of Roman history, about the people of this time, about the complex, contradictory figure of Nero himself.
