bio -ero, who was enthroned in Rome in 54 A.D., at the age of sixteen, and went on
to rule for nearly a decade and a half, developed a reputation for tyranny,
murderous cruelty, and decadence that has survived for nearly two thousand years.
According to various Roman historians, he commissioned the assassination of
Agrippina the Younger—his mother and sometime lover. He sought to poison her, then
to have her crushed by a falling ceiling or drowned in a self-sinking boat, before
ultimately having her murder disguised as a suicide. Nero was betrothed at eleven
and married at fifteen, to his adoptive stepsister, Claudia Octavia, the daughter
of the emperor Claudius. At the age of twenty-four, Nero divorced her, banished
her, ordered her bound with her wrists slit, and had her suffocated in a steam
bath. He received her decapitated head when it was delivered to his court. He also
murdered his second wife, the noblewoman Poppaea Sabina, by kicking her in the
belly while she was pregnant.
Nero’s profligacy went beyond slaughtering his nearest and dearest. He spent a
fortune building an ornate palace, only to have it burn down, along with the rest
of the city of Rome, in a conflagration that lasted for more than a week. Nero
watched the destruction from a safe elevation, singing of the decimation of Troy.
He was famous for never wearing the same garment twice. He sought out sexual
thrills like a hog snuffling for truffles. He had a favored freedman, Sporus,
castrated, then married him in a ceremony in which Sporus was dressed in the
traditional garb of a bride and Nero played the groom. Later, Nero repeated the
ceremony with another of his freedmen playing the groom while he adopted the role
of bride, sans castration; the pseudo-nuptials were consummated on a couch in full
view of guests at a banquet. He was attention-seeking, petulant, arbitrary. He had
the senator Publius Clodius Thrasea Paetus murdered on the ground that his
expressions were overly melancholic.
