Book
Nero: The end of a dynasty
- Abstract:
-
This book is a hybrid, biographical in its concentration on Nero's personality and problems, historical in its analysis of his fall in terms of the interaction of that personality with the complex political system of the Principate.
Nero's personality and crimes have always intrigued historians and writers of fiction. However, his reign also illuminates the nature of the Julio-Claudian Principate. Nero's suicide brought to an end the dynasty Augustus had founded, and placed in jeopardy the political system he had devised.
Miriam T. Griffin's authoratitive survey of Nero's reign incorporates both a chronological account, as well as an analysis of the reasons for Nero's collapse under the pressure of his role as emperor.
