●内容简介——

尼禄（公元54-68年）是罗马历史上的人物之一，同时也是人物，他通常被描述为一个暴虐无能的皇帝，一个俗话说的 "在罗马被烧毁时摆弄 "的统治者。然而，正如新的研究表明的那样，这种名声是粗略的还原，是古代敌对的精英作者精心打造的，他们设想了一种不同的统治形式，更多考虑到他们自己的社会和政治阶层的要求。

这本出版物纠正了这种平衡，对尼禄的统治和当时的罗马社会进行了更细致的解释，反思了对其统治的传统看法，并揭示了这位16岁的罗马帝国继承人不得不面对的大量外部和内部挑战。

One of the best known and simultaneously most notorious figures from Roman history, Nero (r. AD 54–68) is usually characterised as a tyrannical and ineffectual emperor, a ruler who proverbially ‘fiddled while Rome burnt’. However, as new research demonstrates, this reputation is crudely reductive and was carefully crafted in antiquity by hostile elite authors, who envisioned a different form of rule more mindful of the demands of their own social and political class.

This publication redresses the balance and provides a more nuanced interpretation of Nero’s reign and Roman society of the time, reflecting on the traditional perceptions of his rule and revealing the substantial external and internal challenges with which the sixteen-year-old heir to the Roman empire had to contend.
