Should probably be mentioned that being the last Julio-Claudian kinda matters a lot. It's probably why he was painted in such a bad light because that helped legitimize the succeeding Flavian dynasty. The Romans didn't have a concept like Mandate of Heaven but they did like to paint the last member of a dynasty in a bad light to justify someone else gaining imperial power and also try to have some cosmic justice to the fall of that dynasty. With Nero the historians didn't have to work that hard but with the last Flavian you really see them struggling because by all accounts he was a good man.
Domition is one of Rome's most underrated Emperors. He pissed off the Senate (rightly in my opinion) so his memory was going to be damned anyway.. Fuck the Senate....
@@GerryBolger apparently the empire had never run more smoothly than it ya Dundee Domitian. Petty senators denied their chance to leech off the system :)
the jewish revolt was all about the throne of rome, after a hypotheses from ralf eliis. if nero had suceeded with his plans, the roman empire would look more like the chinese empire. so with the flavian dynisty, it was more like an middle eastern thing.
If one thing you need to take in consideration, it’s that senatorial writings always have a slant.. loved by senate = swell guy ... hated by senate = bastard man... it’s like if Mitch McConnell wrote about Obama and that’s what people go on from 1000 years from now
Long ago, the Julians and the Claudians lived together in harmony, then everything changed when the Claudians went insane. Only Nero, a descendant of both halves of the dynasty, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he went insane.
Hey. It does paint his legacy in a brighter picture. Considering how Red Saber potrays Nero at the height of his rule and popularity. Even if Red Saber's cruelty is still present in the form of Boudica's lore and the fact that we get repeatedly sent into gladiatorial battles to the death "because entertainment"...
Kinda. They talk about the fate franchise, a series of games manga or anime that resolves around the summoning of heroic spirits. Nero has been one of them
So assuming that the Imperial guards knew about the planned assassination, do you think they hanged around the edges of the ship and the lifeboats for the whole ride? I like the idea of some Roman maiden looking around and seeing like 10 legionaries next to the lifeboats with lifevests on.
According to the historical record, Nero not only fed and housed refugees from the 64 AD fire, he personally commanded the firefighting and rescue efforts.
@@Irimu_ was this not before the catholic church? Cause if so Your saying the Christians deserved getting beaten by him when it wasn't even the peak of the church in the middle ages where they gained too much power and corrupt officials This is fucking Early Christianity Before the church had more power
@@scarymonster5541 yup Mark Anthony had a daughter with Augustus sister named Antonia minor, which was later married to Tiberius brother and bore Germanicus and Claudius. Germanicus then married Aggrippina the Elder, daughter of Julia (the only child of Augustus) and Agrippa. Together they had several childern most notably Caligula and Aggrippina the younger(nero s mom) So basically yeah, they all kinda related somehow.
Nero would be like while Rome burns: singing Jingle Bells in Japanese version while Rome burns. Singing Jingle Bells in Japanese version while Christians got martyred. Peter: Quo Vadis: Unworthy Cross
The Crimson Fucker it’s a reference to the meme of the video game fate/grand order the premise is that your a mage and you get to summon historical figures as servants for you to use to fight the incineration of humanity In the game Nero Claudius is actually a summonable servant in the saber class but has been genderbent and made too look like King Arthur who is also gender bent Fate/grand order is the gacha game in the franchise and when I say franchise it’s basically Star Wars big with many other games and anime connected to the universe all with Fate/ in the name
Some of the issues Nero had with his mom may have had something to do with the fact that she did the big incest no no thing with him when he was young. Yes, she had issues, but you can't totally blame her. He brother Caligula had done the same thing with her. The whole family had some issues. It was the three emperors in a row, Tiberius, Caligula, and Nero, that were the main cause of the decadence of Rome leading to it's fall. However, it did not. Rome fell three hundred years after it became Christian.
@conan263 the vikings came way after Rome fell, dude. Christians from the later kingdoms after Rome coverted the vikings, even though they were the ones with the a stronger military power against the Christans.
@conan263 yeah, that's what I said. They got converted. That doesn't mean they were forced to become Christians, that just means they abandoned their old gods and became Christians.
To be fair, Uncle Claudius had been shtupping Agrippina for YEARS before they tied the knot and might well have been the father of her kid from her previous marriage... Yeah Nero was screwed.

Well then I might have a few: Otto von Bismarck, Peter the Great (Since you already did Carolus Rex), Oliver Cromwell, Charles V etc. Just a few suggestions that i thought might be interesting.
Nero wasn't a woman at his wedding, as far as I know. He did, however, marry a young boy and forced the _young boy_ to be the woman at the wedding, even having him dress as the empress for most of their marriage, which is were the confusion came from.
This channel is amazing, a true gem for the world. And what the hell made Nero dress as a bride in his wedding day while emperor, imagine Sulla or Augustus doing this.
That's because Nero was one of the three emperors who were openly Gay (The other two are Hadrian and Heliogabalus). After he unintentionally unalived his second wife Sabina Poppea, he took a young greek twink named Sporus, castrated him and made him his wife.
@@jarekwrzosek2048 I wonder how Sporus felt about that.... very informative post, thanks, I thought there were more openly gay Roman emperors though? I think Caligula was open about it too, supposedly he raped a man during a party. The man happened to be married, to a woman.
@@KingDanny9 Eh, just because he raped a guy once, doesn't make you gay, it happens all the time in prisons, right? By saying they were openly gay, I meant they had a life-long partner of the same sex. For Nero it was Sporus, for Hadrian it was Antinous, and for Heliogabalus it was Hieracles, his chariot driver.
@@StateholderofLunt The perfect crime!! Invent the gun and the fiddle, then lie about the fiddle so that nobody will believe the gun part! Oh that Nero, the absolute mad lad!!
@@StateholderofLunt Too late! I'm off to confuse archeologists and sow chaos among history teachers! All will know that it was the USSR that invented anime and that Nelson did in fact invent the airplane but hid the truth as he didn't believe mankind was ready to fly until the Wright brothers found his secret journal!!
Nero didn't fiddle while time burned, the fiddle didn't exist yet, and he was in a neighboring city and when he heard the news he rushed to help the fire brigade.
You didnt mention that one time his wife died and nero found a boy who looked like his wife, so naturaly he orderd the boy castrated and made him pose as his wife in public.
The evidence that Nero played the cithara and sang while Rome burned is from third hand accounts (rumors to discredit him by angry senators some 30 40 years after Nero was dead). By the way he wasn't in Rome at the time of the fire, but rushed back on hearing of it.
Adopting a competent young lad to further the effectiveley lead your family and ibcrease irs piwer makes much more sense than putting your idiot biological kid in charge.
People always forget that what he was playing while Roma burned, if he did play, was The Fall of Troy, a tragic song of Roma's mother city, based on the early imperial fanfic
@@jun-hs4eo It's funny in the sense why the fuck did the other emperors even take Sporous? For legitimacy? A castrated boy as wife... wtf is wrong with this period in roman history?
Funny thing, part of why the Christians were blamed is because they were actually known for starting fires at the time. Specifically, dumping burning pitch into the underground worshipping halls of a rival cult. So, it's actually totally feasible they *did* start the fire and the rest was coincidental.

If you're gonna be like that...don't think he was killed with a glock either lol
He also wasn't shot in the head

Eh I would say Rome fell more so due to the crisis of the third century then the 3 emperors.
More like a thousand. The Byzantine Empire was The Roman Empire. And it fell in 1453.
