Was Nero Really That Bad?

Was Nero really that bad, or has history been telling the same story for 2,000 years without asking who started it? In today’s episode, Ryan looks at the myths, accusations, and contradictions behind Nero’s reputation, and asks whether he was really a monster, a scapegoat, or a warning. 📚 Books Mentioned: * Nero: Emperor and Court by John F.
