Об электронной книге

Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus was one of the Caesars and ruled Rome between the years 54 to 68 AD. Like his predecessors, he wielded power with violence and a good dose of insanity. Besides seeing himself as a deity, Nero considered himself a brilliant artist and dedicated much of his energy as a musician and actor to prove this.However, Nero went down in history as a murderer, madman, and debauchee, with no limits to obtaining what he desired, which in terms of power could mean the murder of his own mother and half-brother as well as the unrestricted possession of absolutely anyone, woman or man, who crossed his path and aroused his desire.This work portrays the power struggle behind the scenes of the Roman Empire, where poisoning was one of the main strategies, as well as Nero's trajectory, from his rise to power through the cruelty and obstinacy of his mother Agrippina to the tragic outcome when he commits suicide to avoid the wrath of his people. An unforgettable read.
