Abbott charts Nero's unlikely rise, culminating with the emperor's broken promises to the Roman people. Though best known as a ruler, Nero had a creative spirit that pursued grand ambitions as an artist and architect. He constructed lavish new monuments and captivated Romans with spectacular performances on stage.

Through dramatic scenes and rich details, The History of Nero recounts the life of an emperors whose passions, promise and unraveling offer unforgettable insights into ancient Rome at its zenith.
