Ask Nero for details
Nero Claudius Drusus Germanicus (65438+ 15 February -37 June 9, 68), emperor of the Roman Empire, reigned for 54-68 years. There are a lot of historical materials and creations about him in later generations, but his image is generally not well described.

Edit this paragraph at an early age.

Nero's paternal line comes from the branch of Domitius, Arnold Balbi (literally Nero Claudius Druse Germanicus)

His father, Domitius Balbi, died of edema shortly after the death of Emperor Tiberius. Nero's mother is Agrippina, and she is Octavian's direct blood relative. She was exiled by two emperors, Tiberius and caligula, and was recalled during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Nero was born in Antium, a coastal city in southern Rome, and Agrippina named the newborn "Rukius" (that is, "Rukius Domi Tius Anobah Booth"). Rukius lost his father at the age of 3, and his mother was exiled, because his childhood was brought up by his aunt Lebeda. In 49 AD, Agrippina married her uncle Emperor Claudius. She adopted her only son as a member of the Claudia family and changed the family name to Nero.

Emperor Claudius and his ex-wife Mesarina have a daughter and a son: the eldest daughter Claudia Via and the youngest son Brittanicus. But when Nero adopted Claudius 12 years old, he was eight years older than Brittany, so Nero became Caesar and heir to the throne. Agrippina tried her best to train her son to be emperor, hired the famous philosopher seneca as her teacher, and married Nero to Victoria. Nero stepped into politics and held public office at this time. He gave several speeches in Latin and Greek in the Senate, and personally held large-scale competitions and animal fighting performances. In June 65438 +654381October+March 54, Emperor Claudius died of food poisoning (people suspected that agrippina might have poisoned him), and Nero 17 years old succeeded to the throne.

Edit this adjudication process

In the early days of Nero's rule, the national policy was decided by the former emperors and ministers agrippina, seneca and pallas, and the leader of the Guards, Secstus Bruce. They cooperated with the Senate class to maintain the stable development policy of the previous dynasty, held Greek-style tournaments in the capital, and abolished the exorbitant taxes and slave auction taxes of tax collectors. At this time, Rome was very prosperous and the border situation was generally flat. Family Contradictions and Personal Power Consolidation Nero's mother Agrippina has a strong desire for power. Nero became increasingly dissatisfied with his mother's politics as he grew into an adult. At seneca's suggestion, Nero, as emperor, prevented his mother from entering the meeting when he met Armenian envoys. Agrippina reacted violently to this and threatened Nero by helping his soon-to-be-grown brother Brittanicus. In 55, Brittanicus died of poisoning after eating, and later generations speculated that Nero had poisoned him. German wart salamander

Later, Nero accused pallas of participating in a conspiracy to exile pallas; Pallas is Agrippina's close friend in North Korea, which shows that Nero is against his mother. After Bruce retired, Nero promoted Tigrinus as his new bodyguard. 1959, Nero suddenly showed his kindness to his mother and invited her to spend a holiday at Boya Villa on Campania Beach. Nero specially ordered a gorgeous boat to pick up Agrippina, but the hull disintegrated during the voyage, and Nero tried to create an unexpected illusion to drown Agrippina. But agrippina was good at swimming and was rescued by a passing fishing boat. Agrippina sent her slaves to report her peace to Nero. When Nero learned of this, he accused the slave of being ordered by his mother to assassinate the emperor, so he sent troops to another museum in Agrippina to kill her. At this point, Nero completely consolidated his imperial power. In 62, Bruce died. 1965, seneca was implicated in a suicide plot by cutting blood vessels.

Edit the internal affairs paragraph.

Nero's internal affairs measures are basically inclined to the people. He invented a method to deal with forged wills, limiting the upper limit of defense compensation in litigation cases, in order to prevent powerful people from unequal exploitation of civilians through law. He reduced the tax rates of many indirect taxes and made public the government's tax records to prevent official corruption and fraud. Nero depressed food prices and restricted poor Roman citizens from getting enough food and clothes. How people feel when they are in power.

Nero loves art. He is a poet, playwright, singer and harp player. He often holds big competitions and takes part in them in person. He sponsored literature, architecture and various engineering inventions. After Octavian's rule, Nero's empire showed a thriving scene of literature and art.1After the Rome fire in 964, he built a famous and gorgeous "Golden Temple". But after Nero monopolized the power, his respect for the elders and nobles gradually faded. He began to like to accept people's flattery and crack down on political forces opposed to him. The most famous is 1965' s "conspiracy criticism", in which a group of politicians and factions attempted to overthrow Nero's rule. But they plan to leak it in advance. Nero expanded the scope of attack, purged dissidents, and made the Roman upper class feel the emperor's rule at any time.

Edit this passage of the Roman fire.

The fire in Rome took place on July 17, AD 64, but the real cause of the fire has always been an eternal historical mystery. But most people think that this is a man-made arson case, in which Emperor Nero's atrocities made him the biggest suspect. According to the investigation at that time, the arsonist should have come from Emperor Nero. The reason is that Emperor Nero wanted to expand the palace. But the capital palace is surrounded by Roman civilians and it is almost difficult to start construction. So he took advantage of the dead of night to instigate people to set fire to achieve his wish. The fire in Rome was caused by Maximus Arena. Maximus Arena is located on the east bank of Tiber River, southwest of Rome. The fire was out of control because it was full of flammable items such as tents. Coupled with the southwest wind blowing these days, it is more conducive to the wind. When Vulcan swallowed Maximus Arena, it actually extended two fire fields to the left and right, one of which burned to Triumph Street, and the archways and temples of the Arc de Triomphe, Punic War and Gaul War all vanished in an instant. The fire on the right destroyed imperial government officials and other high-rise buildings, and the streets, shops and houses extending in all directions were reduced to ashes. As a result, the whole city was almost a sea of fire, so the fire burned for six days and seven nights, and the whole city of Rome was burnt! Nero returned to Rome from Antium, opened his palace to accommodate the victims, and delivered food and relief supplies from Ostia and neighboring towns. However, due to the heavy losses caused by the fire, people generally suspect that it should be caused by arson. Nero heard that some people suspected that he secretly set the fire. In order not to spread rumors, he declared that the disaster was a Christian conspiracy. So he ordered the arrest of Christians and tortured them openly and cruelly-crucified, dressed in animal skins, killed by vicious dogs, and nailed to posts as candles. Dispose of Jews

In 60 AD, because the Roman legions in Britain were busy fighting in Mona Island, Queen Budika in the southeast of Britain led troops to resist Roman rule. Paulinus, the leader of the British Legion, returned to the army and put down the rebellion in Budika on 6 1. Relations with the East In 55 AD, a coup took place in Armenia, the eastern dependency of Rome, and finally Prince Tiridatus of Parthia entered Armenia and became the new king. Since Rome always regarded Armenia as a protectorate, Armenian exiles turned to Nero for help. So the leader of Nero's Germanic legion, Kolbro, was in charge of oriental affairs. Parthia, on the other hand, thinks that Armenia is culturally close to Persia, so she decides that she can manage Armenia's affairs by herself without mentioning Rome. King Volodysseus I of Parthia rejected Rome's request to restore the old king and appointed his brother Tiridatus as king of Armenia. In 58, the Roman legions led by Kolbro entered the East and launched a series of battles with the Parthian-Armenian Coalition forces. In 59, Kolbro occupied the capital of Armenia, drove away Pattaya's army, and Tiridates escaped. Rome made Grannis king of Armenia. Nero thought the war was over, so he sent Kolbro back to Syria. In 62, the deposed Tiridates re-entered Armenia under the protection of the Parthian army. Nero sent Petrus to lead the Roman army in battle, but he was badly defeated. Parthia once again took control of Armenia, and Tiridates ascended the throne again. So Nero reappointed Syria's Kolbro. Because Kolbro's fame has considerable influence in the local area, when Kolbro built a bunker on the Euphrates River, it caused great panic on the other side. Parthia didn't want to go to war with Corbro, so it sent messengers to discuss the peace terms with Nero. In 63, Parthia reached an agreement with Rome to recognize Tiridates as the king of Armenia, but the crown of the king must be awarded by the Roman emperor. Tiridates entered the Corbrod Barracks, and in front of the statue of Nero, Emperor Corbrod crowned Tiridates. Later, Tiridatis went to Rome, where Nero crowned him again and welcomed him with a grand celebration. Therefore, Nero maintained a good reputation there. After Nero committed suicide, there were three fake Neros, one of which was revered by Armenia. On the other hand, since then, the eastern border of Rome has maintained peace for 70 years. Jewish Uprising The last governor of the Roman Empire in the Jewish quarter was Gusius Florus, who was low in moral character and tyrannical. During his tenure as Jewish governor, he almost only exploited and neglected political affairs. Frorush's corruption and bribery is almost an undisguised and unscrupulous means. During his tenure, the people were in poverty, and wherever he went, he was full of extortion and rebellion from time to time. The situation is already very tense. The Governor of Syria, Gestius Gallius, heard about the chaos in the Jewish area, so he visited Jerusalem in the name of Jewish Passover in 66 AD. The Jews took this opportunity to accuse Floras of all kinds of evil deeds in front of Caleb, who promised to punish Floras in front of everyone. After Caleb left Jerusalem, instead of reviewing his behavior, Floras intensified his persecution of the Jews, hoping that the Jews would rebel against the Roman Empire and he could benefit from it. Later, Floras forcibly collected 17 talents of gold from the Jewish temple, but the Jews refused to accept it, so Floras took this opportunity to lead troops to Jerusalem in an attempt to achieve his goal by force! And then triggered a full-scale Jewish resistance. The war between Jews and Romans caused the tragedy that the Jewish temple was destroyed, the city of Jerusalem was desolate, the Jews were driven away and scattered everywhere! The war began in 66 AD. Although the Jews took the lead at the beginning, after Wipami was ordered to quell the chaos, he immediately advanced to Jerusalem to "recover the chaos." In 67-68 AD, at the behest of Nero, Wei Baping first retaken Galilee and Samaria, and he wanted to attack Jerusalem. Nero's death forced Wei Baping to return to Rome to become emperor. After the regime stabilized, he sent his son Titus to command the rebellion and eventually overthrew the whole city of Jerusalem, that is, General Titus. By the end of September 72 AD, the north of the city had completely fallen into the hands of the Romans, and the whole of Jerusalem was occupied.

Edit this marriage

Nero was married three times. The first time was when I was young, I married Claudius' daughter Octavian. However, after Nero proclaimed himself emperor, I fell in love with Octavian's maid Akdai and planned to divorce Octavian. After seneca and agrippina advised me to give up, the relationship between husband and wife existed in name only. After Agrippina's death, Octavia was exiled to an outer island. 1958, Nero fell in love with Pope sabina, the wife of his sweetheart Otto. In order to give her the title of queen, Nero forced Octavia to commit suicide on the charge of adultery in 1962, and made Popea his second wife. Popea once gave birth to a daughter for Nero, but she died young. Later, Nero kicked the pregnant Popeya when he lost his temper, which led to her death in 65. Nero's third marriage was with Statia Mesalina. Nero forced his husband Vestinus to commit suicide in order to get Mesalina, who was already his wife. Mesarina never gave birth to Nero's child.

Edit this paragraph, commit suicide.

The Windex Gaul uprising became very suspicious because Nero received many plots to assassinate him, and he always rebelled against the prison, making the elders and nobles miserable. 1968 At the beginning of this year, Julius Windex, governor of Lugdunu Gaul province, sent troops to revolt under the slogan of "saving mankind", and many cities in Gaul responded. Nero ordered German Governor Rufus to lead the German army to the rebellion in Gaoluping. Rufus quickly defeated the main force of Windex in May, 1968, and Windex committed suicide. Garba uprising, Roman uprising. After Windex led the uprising, the Governor of Tarrago, Spain, Garba immediately sent troops to respond to Spain's anti-Nero action. However, after Garba heard that Windex had failed to commit suicide, the momentum of resistance was greatly hit, and the morale of the Spanish army was gradually unstable. Garba also plans to commit suicide. But at this time, there were rumors in the capital Rome that people heard that the sand shipped from Alexandria was not food but a gladiator performance, so riots broke out. Nero didn't know that Windex had failed, thinking that Gaul and Spain had successfully defected and the Guards had abandoned him. So Nero thought that the tide was over, so he left the Roman court in a hurry and planned to flee to the East. When the Senate learned that Nero had left, it immediately decided to elect Garba as emperor and declared Nero a "public enemy". Anyone can hunt down or kill Nero. In his former slave release village, he learned that the pursued soldiers had cut off his escape route. On June 9th, Nero had only three or four servants left. Finally, he committed suicide by stabbing himself in the throat with a dagger, ending his 14-year rule. Nero at that time, faced with such an embarrassing environment, did not want to humiliate his people, so he decided to commit suicide. But he was so afraid of death that he picked up the knife several times, but he dared not stab him in the chest. Just as he hesitated to cry, the servant beside him got impatient and gave him a push. The most brutal king in history ended his life in this way. After learning of Nero's death, the Senate announced that Nero would be "erased"-all statues, inscriptions and inscriptions on buildings of Nero must be destroyed or erased.

Edit this paragraph for later evaluation.

Because of the compilation of Roman historical materials, historians' comments mostly come from the upper echelons of the empire. Because the middle and late period of Nero's rule was quite cruel to this class, most historical materials handed down from later generations viewed Nero's rule from a negative perspective. For example, like the Rome fire in 1964, Suetonius devoted a considerable space to Nero's gloating, clearly pointing out that Nero ordered the fire. However, whether this description is consistent with the facts has always been controversial in the field of history. In addition, Nero was "forgotten" by later generations after his death, so most of his deeds left an unforgettable negative impression. Nero himself loves luxury and is cruel to his relatives and ministers around him. However, his comments on his merits and demerits, and the professionals who studied the history of the early Roman Empire, drew many different faces of Nero. The evaluation of the early Christian church by the Christian church coincides with Nero's administration. However, Christianity was a discriminated religion in Rome at that time, so it was resented and misunderstood by officials and people. Nero framed Christians as the chief culprit of the Rome fire in 1964, and publicly persecuted and killed Christians. Therefore, according to the records of the church, Nero was regarded as the antichrist, and the apostles Paul and Peter also died at his hands. Nero was the first tyrant who oppressed Christianity.
