Nero

Nero

Nero was Rome’s 5th emperor from AD 54 to AD 68.  He brought 

the Roman Empire to ruin.  He burned all cities.  He murdered thousands of people invluding his aunt, stepsister, ex-wife, mother, wife and adoptive brother.  He systematically murdered every member in his family.  Some were killed in searing hot baths.  He poisoned, beheaded, stabbed, burned and impaled people.  He often raped women and cut off private parts of both men and women.  The great fire killed many of Rome’s citizens and left hundreds of thousands destitute.  Though Nero probably started the fire, he blamed it on the Christians.  Christians were starved to death, burned, torn by dogs, fed to lions, crucified, used as torches and nailed to crosses.  He was so bad that many of the Christians thought he was the Antichrist. Nero committed suicide when he realized he was losing the rebellion
