As the stories go, he set fire to Rome and thrummed his lyre as it burned. He then cleared the charred ruins and built a vast palace. He committed incest with his mother, who had schemed and killed to place him on the throne, and later murdered her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut these stories, left behind by contemporary historians who hated him, are hardly the full picture, and in this nuanced biography, celebrated historian Anthony Everitt and investigative journalist Roddy Ashworth reveal the contradictions inherent in Nero and offer a reappraisal of his life. Contrary to popular memory, the empire was well managed during his reign. He presided over diplomatic triumphs, and his legions overcame the fiery British queen Boudica who led one of the greatest revolts Rome had ever had to face.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe loved art, culture, and music, and he won the loyalty of the lower classes with fantastic spectacles. He did not set fire to Rome. In Nero, ancient Rome comes to life: the fire-prone streets, the deadly political intrigues, and the ongoing architectural projects. I\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003en this teeming, politically unstable world, Nero was vulnerable to fierce reproach from the nobility and relatives who would gladly usurp him, and he was often too ready to murder rivals. He had a vision for Rome, but, racked by insecurity, he perhaps lacked the stomach to govern it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the bloodstained story of one of Rome's most notorious emperors: but in Everitt and Ashworth's hands, Nero's life is also a complicated, cautionary tale about the mettle required to rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHitta fler liknande böcker i dessa kategorier:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='https:\/\/bok.hstrom.se\/pages\/humaniora'\"\u003eHumaniora\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='https:\/\/bok.hstrom.se\/collections\/humaniora-kulturvetenskap-historia'\"\u003eKulturvetenskap \u0026amp; -historia\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--full-width \" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=title:Everitt%2BAnthony%2BNero'\"\u003eSök fler exemplar av denna bok\u003c\/button\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller; font-weight:bold;\"\u003eAnvänd gärna länkarna nedan för att hitta liknande böcker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörfattare:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Everitt+Anthony\"\u003eEveritt, Anthony\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitel:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Nero\"\u003eNero\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörlag:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=vendor:Random+House+USA\"\u003eRandom House USA\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGenre:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Historia+och+arkeologi\"\u003eHistoria och arkeologi\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtikelnr:\u003c\/b\u003e 185376231\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Random House USA","offers":[{"title":"Förlagsny bok \/ Häftad","offer_id":44754556584203,"sku":"185376231","price":228.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8856\/1163\/files\/185376231_defa8c2a-263c-499f-8414-bc01975f596c.jpg?v=1701559557","url":"https:\/\/bok.hstrom.se\/products\/185376231","provider":"bok.hstrom.se | Antikvariat \u0026 Bokhandel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
