Why read it?
1 author picked Nero as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A magisterial, affectionate portrait of Nero and his times, this book is full of delightful touches of humor. Grant writes that although Nero enjoyed giving feasts, “we are not told if he was amused by the famous contemporary glutton Arpocras, who ate four tablecloths at a time, and broken glass as well.”
From Humphry's list on Nero (the man and the myth).
