Nero's reign (AD 54-68) witnessed some of the most memorable events in Roman history, such as the rebellion of Boudica and the first persecution of the Christians-not to mention Nero's murder of his mother, his tyranny and extravagance, and his suicide, which plunged the empire into civil war. The Emperor Nero gathers into a single collection the major sources for Nero's life and rule, providing students of Nero and ancient Rome with the most authoritative and accessible reader there is.The Emperor Nero features clear, contemporary translations of key literary sources along with translations and explanations of representative inscriptions and coins issued under Nero. The informative introduction situates the emperor's reign within the history of the Roman Empire, and the book's concise headnotes to chapters place the source material in historical and biographical context. Passages are accompanied by detailed notes and are organized around events, such as the Great Fire of Rome, or by topic, such as Nero's relationships with his wives. Complex events like the war with Parthia-split up among several chapters in Tacitus's Annals-are brought together in continuous narratives, making this the most comprehensible and user-friendly sourcebook on Nero available.Some images inside the book are unavailable due to digital copyright restrictions.

Dans l'imaginaire collectif, Néron est à jamais figé dans la posture du tyran dépravé, meurtrier, incendiaire : un mythe s'est forgé, éternel et persistant. C'est précisément cette mythologie que l'auteur se propose de décoder. Car parallèlement à l'effacement des traces visibles de la mémoire du prince, les auteurs antiques, tant païens que chrétiens, se sont employés à reconstruire son histoire, jusqu'à ce que Néron, dépouillant son enveloppe d'individu historique, devînt une figure emblématique, incarnation de la tyrannie et de la monstruosité elles-mêmes. Enquête sur les codes philosophiques, rhétoriques ou littéraires qui ont contraint la réécriture de l'histoire du dernier Julio-claudien, l'ouvrage se propose aussi de suivre les mutations de cette figure au cours de l'Antiquité, au gré des erreurs de lecture, des confusions, des manipulations narratives ou des tentatives d'adaptation de la geste néronienne aux préoccupations du temps. Toute une mythographie se fait jour.
