In 64 AD, the Roman Emperor Nero (supplement: Nero Claudius Drusus Germanicus (15 December 37 – 9 June 68), Emperor of the Roman Empire, reigned from 54 to 68. Later generations have a considerable amount of historical materials and creations of him, but generally poor descriptions of his image. The world called him "the bloodthirsty Nero." He was the last emperor of the Giulia Claudius dynasty of the Roman Empire and a famous cruel tyrant in the history of ancient Rome and Europe. )
Nero's father died when he was three years old, and his mother remarried to the roman emperor at the time. Later, his mother persuaded the emperor to make him an heir, then poisoned the emperor, paid for the palace guards, and then officially declared the 17-year-old Nero the new Roman emperor.
Fearing that his half-brothers would compete for the throne, Nero put a potent poison into his brother's wine at a court banquet. Seeing his brother convulsing in pain, Nero ate with relish while casually explaining that it was nothing more than a seizure, and the people present were stunned.
But at this time Nero was not yet able to exercise supreme power as he pleased, because his mother often regarded herself as a queen, which made him a constraint. In order to seize power, Nero came up with a poisonous plan.
After a beachside banquet, he took his mother home in a special boat, and on the way the ship broke into pieces, but the mother swam to the shore and sent him a letter. While speaking to the messenger, Nero secretly placed a dagger on the ground, saying that his mother had sent someone to assassinate him. In this way, he condemned his mother to death.
Nero believed that neither man nor woman was virtuous in body, but most of them made clever disguises of their ugliness, so he took advantage of the emperor's prerogatives to do whatever he wanted.
He often went out on the streets in disguise at night, wantonly molesting men and raping women, and anyone who dared to resist would be executed, because many men and women did not dare to go out if they heard that he was going to the streets, but there were still people who continued to suffer.
Nero also castrated a man, married him, and often rode in a carriage with him.
Nero's family life was also bloody and brutal. He married his stepfather's daughter when he was 15, but soon exiled her to an island and later killed her. The second wife, while pregnant, was kicked to death by Nero.
The third wife was obtained by Nero after he killed her original husband.
Nero was a natural monster: looped legs, a thick neck, a stocky mound, ugly, but he thought he was a beautiful man and an artist.
He likes to pretend and speak in a delicate woman's voice, which gives people goosebumps. Nero was cruel and murderous, and the way he gave the dead was even more unusual—he always wrote a note saying, "I have no objection to your suicide." ”
Nero was a lover of music and theater, and often called himself a "talented actor" and a "brilliant artist.". He often participated in public performances, sometimes playing music of his own compositions with a seven-stringed piano, and sometimes playing in person and playing the leading role.
Nero liked the blood-spurting scenes on the stage very much, and in order to make the performance more realistic, tense, and exciting, he actually put the real killing and execution scenes on the stage, and let the slaves play the role of "death row prisoners" and let them be stabbed to death on the spot.
At the annual Summer Fun Festival, as usual, large rafts are erected on Lake Agripa, topped with birds and animals and mountain delicacies, towed back and forth by other boats.
The ships are decorated with stripes of gold and ivory to make them look golden, and the cleavers line up on the boats in order of age, singing and dancing while laughing and playing. Suddenly, the city of Rome was in flames, frightening the children into chaos. Then Nero cried out, "How magnificent!" As soon as the words stopped, I saw him take the stage, sing a song, and immediately perform an impromptu performance.
The fire lasted for nine days, burning 3 of the 14 districts of Rome into a vacant lot, and 7 districts to the point where only broken rubble remained. The demented Emperor Nero turned a blind eye to the fire, but instead triggered the "creative inspiration" in admiring this "magnificent" spectacle.
Nero's reign of terror, frenzied slaughter, and brutal persecution of Christians overwhelmed the Senate and the army, and they sentenced Nero to death and whipped him to death.
Nero resisted, but as a result, he was stabbed in the throat with a sword, ending his absurd and sinful life at the age of 31. Before dying, he kept lamenting: "What a great artist is going to die!"
