(Thomas) Thomson, Alexander, M.D. The Lives of the Twelve Caesars, Volume 06: Nero Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Twelve_Caesars Produced by Tapio Riikonen and David Widger "The Lives of the Twelve Caesars, Volume 06: Nero" by Suetonius is a historical account written during the early second century AD. The text serves as an exploration of the life and reign of the infamous Roman Emperor Nero, detailing his ancestors, ascendance to power, and notorious rule characterized by extravagance and cruelty. At the start of the volume, the narrative introduces Nero's lineage, tracing his descent from notable Roman families and illustrating how he inherited not only their noble status but also their vices. The accounts depict Nero's troubled childhood, his rise to power under the shadow of his mother Agrippina's ambitions, and his early attempts to garner popularity among the people. These opening sections foreshadow a tumultuous reign marked by egregious acts, personal vendettas, theatrical performances, and ultimately, a legacy marred by violence, as the groundwork is laid for the detailed examination of his tyrannical actions and their catastrophic consequences for both himself and the Roman Empire.
