The Life and Principate of the Emperor Nero by Bernard W. Henderson is a comprehensive biography of the infamous Roman emperor Nero, who ruled from 54 to 68 AD. The book covers Nero's life from his early years as a child prodigy to his rise to power as emperor, his tumultuous reign, and his eventual downfall. Henderson's work delves into the political, social, and cultural context of Nero's time, examining the complex relationship between the emperor and the Roman Senate, as well as his interactions with the people of Rome and the wider empire. The book also explores Nero's personal life, including his relationships with his mother Agrippina, his wives, and his advisors.Throughout the book, Henderson presents a balanced and nuanced view of Nero, challenging many of the negative stereotypes that have been perpetuated in popular culture. He argues that while Nero was certainly a controversial figure, his reign was marked by significant achievements in areas such as public works, cultural patronage, and religious tolerance.Overall, The Life and Principate of the Emperor Nero is a detailed and engaging biography that offers a fresh perspective on one of the most fascinating and enigmatic figures in Roman history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
