Ep. 129: Evil Emperors, Pt. 2 - The Artist Formerly Known As Nero

In the second of a two-parter on the Roman Empire's most hated rulers, Sean illustrates the *colorful* life and times of Nero, Rome's fifth emperor, who got up to a lot more than just fireside fiddling.

Join us for a twisted tale of matricide, fratricide, parricide, arson, plain ol' torture murders and more forced suicides than you can shake a centurion at. But above all the violence, Nero considered himself something much scarier than a mad emperor...he considered himself an artist.

Come for the mayhem - stay for the music!
