Which country was Nero a tyrant?
Nero was a tyrant in Rome.

Nero was a famous tyrant in Roman history. In 54 AD, Nero, who was 17 years old, ascended the throne. He was brutal, indulgent and lived in luxury. He often pretends to be a "great artist" and does not do anything serious in acting. In 64 AD, a fire broke out in Rome, which lasted for six days. In the 14 area of the city, some 10 area was burned, but Nero went upstairs to watch the fire, drink and have fun.

In 68 AD, rebellion against Nero broke out in Gaul and Spain. Nero, who was in an unknown state of war, thought he was desperate and fled the capital Rome in a hurry. The Senate immediately declared Nero "enemy of the state" and recognized Spanish Governor Garba as emperor. On June 9 of the same year, Nero was forced to commit suicide. Nero's death marked the end of the first dynasty of the Roman Empire, namely the Jorio-Claudius dynasty initiated by Augustus.
