The Emperor Nero gathers into a single collection the major sources for Nero's life and rule, providing students of Nero and ancient Rome with the most authoritative and accessible reader there is.The Emperor Nero features clear, contemporary translations of key literary sources along with translations and explanations of representative inscriptions and coins issued under Nero.

Passages are accompanied by detailed notes and are organized around events, such as the Great Fire of Rome, or by topic, such as Nero's relationships with his wives. Complex events like the war with Parthia-split up among several chapters in Tacitus's Annals-are brought together in continuous narratives, making this the most comprehensible and user-friendly sourcebook on Nero available.Some images inside the book are unavailable due to digital copyright restrictions.
