Family [bsp;   Nero was born in a noble family in Rome. His father was Gneus Domitius Agnebalbus. When Nero was 3 years old, that is, in 40 AD, his father died. Nero was raised by his mother. Agripina was a sinister, resourceful, powerful woman. After Agripina poisoned her second husband, she married her uncle, the Roman emperor Claudius, out of vanity and ambition.

After Gripina became emperor and empress, in order to consolidate her autocratic position, on the one hand, she appointed her confidant Aphranius Bruce as the commander of the Guards and used this as a pillar to kill her political and romantic rivals; on the other hand, starting from 48 AD, she continued to use various conspiracies to give Nero power, and she forced Claudius to give up the legal requirement to let his biological son Britanicus be the heir, and gave her the favor of a successor to her son Nero, who was born to her ex-husband.

In 51 AD, Claudius adopted Nero as his son and married Octavia, the daughter of his ex-wife Mesalina, to Nero. In 54 AD, Claudius was poisoned to death. Although the historians had different opinions on Claudius's death, it was probably due to Agripina's poisonous actions. After Claudius's death, Agripina continued to use power techniques. While instructing the guards commanded by Bruce to control the situation in Rome and immediately killed her in the military.

The opposition on the side made the military group submit to her power, and at the same time, she forced the Senate, which had long been ineffective, to obey all power and hand over all power to her son. In this way, Nero ascended the throne of the emperor and became the central figure of the Roman political stage. Nero had neither great military achievements nor talent to govern the country, so he was able to become the Roman emperor because of the result of the court coup. This fully demonstrated that the head of state had completely degenerated into an open monarchy.

Nero's paternal lineage comes from Agenobalbi, a branch of Domitius (literally

With a bronze beard), his father Domitiusahenobarbi died of edema shortly after Emperor Tiberius' death. Nero's mother was Agripina, the direct blood relative of Octavia. She was exiled by the two emperors Tiberius and Caligula and recalled during the tenure of Emperor Claudi.

Nero was born in the seaside city of Antium in southern Rome. Agripina named the newborn "Rukius" (the full name is "Rukius Domitius Akhennobalbus"). This Rukius lost his father at the age of 3 and his mother was exiled because he was raised by his aunt Lebida family in childhood.

In 49 AD, Agripina married her uncle, Emperor Claudi. She adopted her only son as a member of the Claudi family and used the clan's name Nero.

Arrival

Emperor Claudi and his ex-wife Mesarina had a daughter and son: the eldest daughter Claudiya Odavia and the youngest son Bretanicus. But Nero was 12 years old when he adopted the Claudi family, older than the 8-year-old Brittanicus, so Nero became the heir to the throne. Agripina tried her best to cultivate her biological son as the emperor, and hired Senega as his teacher, and let Nero marry Odavia Odavia, the daughter of the old emperor's ex-wife. Nero entered politics at this time and gave speeches in Latin and Greek several times in the Senate, and held large-scale competitions and beast fighting performances in his own name.

On October 13, 2014, Emperor Claudi died of food poisoning (people suspect that it might be Agripina's poisoning), and 17-year-old Nero successfully inherited the throne.

Governance: Good governance in early years

At the beginning of Nero's rule, the national policy was decided by Agripina, Senega, Palas, the former minister of the former emperor, and Sextus Bruce, the commander of the Guards. They cooperated with the Senate class to maintain the stable development policy of the previous dynasty, held Greek-style competitions in the capital, and canceled the taxpayers' taxes and slave auction taxes. The Roman scene was very prosperous at this time, and the border situation was roughly pacified.

Family conflicts and personal power consolidation

Nero's mother Agribina had a strong desire for power. After Nero gradually became an adult, she became increasingly dissatisfied with her mother's interference in politics. At Seneca's suggestion, Nero prevented her mother from entering the venue as an emperor in an Armenian envoy's visit. Agribina responded fiercely to this and threatened Nero by helping her soon-to-be-adult younger brother Bretanicus. In 55, Bretanicus died of poisoning after a meal. Later generations speculated that it was the poisoning caused by Nero.

Later, Nero accused Pallas of participating in a conspiracy and exiling Pallas; Pallas was Agripina's close friend in the court, and this move was no different to show that Nero was fighting against his mother. Bruce retired, and Nero promoted Tiglinus to his new commander of the Guards. In 1959, Nero suddenly showed his gratitude and invited his mother to take a vacation at the Villa Baia by the sea of ​​Campania. Nero specially customized a gorgeous boat to pick up Agripina, but the hull disintegrated during the voyage. Nero attempted to create an unexpected illusion to drown Agripina. But Agripina was good at swimming and was rescued by passing fishing boats. Agripina sent her slave to Nero to report his security to Nero. After Nero learned that, he accused the slave of assassination of the emperor on his mother's order, so he sent troops to Agripina's other hall to kill her. At this point, Nero completely consolidated his imperial power.

In 1962, Bruce died of illness. In 1965, Seneca was implicated in a conspiracy to commit suicide by cutting blood vessels.

Governance: Multi-faceted

Nero's internal affairs measures were basically tilted towards the common people. He invented ways to deal with forgery wills, limiting the upper limit of defense compensation for litigation cases, and using it to prevent the unequal exploitation of civilians by the powerful through the law. He lowered many indirect taxes and disclosed the government's tax records to prevent officials from corruption and fraud. Nero lowered the prices of food and restricted the poor Roman citizens to be able to have enough food and clothing.

Nero loved art, and he was a poet, playwright, singer and harp player. He often held grand competitions and personally participated in the competition. He sponsored literature, architecture, and various engineering inventions. After the rule of Octavian, the empire during Nero's reign showed a prosperous literary and artistic scene. After the great Roman fire in 1964, he built the famous ornate "Domesaurea".

But after Nero monopolized power, his respect for the elders and nobles gradually faded. He began to like to accept people's flattery and attacked political forces that were opposed to him. The most famous was the "conspiracy of criticizing the scrutiny" in 1965. A group of republican politicians planned to overthrow Nero's rule. But they planned to leak beforehand. Nero expanded the attack surface, purged dissidents, and let the upper class of Rome feel the emperor's terrifying reign at any time.

Mystery: The fire in Rome

The fire in Rome occurred on July 17, 64 AD. However, the real cause of this fire has always been a historical mystery for the ages. However, most people believe that this was a man-made arson case, and it became the biggest suspect because of Emperor Nero's atrocities. According to the investigation at that time, the arsonist should have been from Emperor Nero, and the reason was that Emperor Nero wanted to expand the palace. However, the surroundings of the capital palace were filled with Roman civilians, so it was almost difficult to start construction. Therefore, he was instigated to go down and set fire to fulfill his wishes in the dead of night.

The fire that occurred in Rome began to burn from the Grand Arena. The Grand Arena is located on the east bank of the Tiber River, in the southwest of the city of Rome. Because it is full of tents and other flammable items, the fire is out of control. In addition, the southwest wind blows in the past few days of the fire, which further fuels the wind. After the Vulcan engulfs the Grand Arena, two fires extend left and right, one of which burns toward the Triumph Street, one of which burns on the left and one of them, and one of them burns toward the Triumph Street, one after another.

The Arc de Triomphe, the Punic War and the Gaul War memorial archways and temples all disappeared in an instant. The fire on the right burned the imperial government offices and other high-rise buildings, and the streets, shops and houses all turned into ashes. As a result, the whole city was almost trapped in a sea of ​​fire. In this way, the fire burned for six days and seven nights in a row, and the whole city of Rome was scorched earth!

Nero rushed back to Rome from Antium, opened his palace to resettle the victims, and transported grain from Ostia and neighboring towns. However, due to the heavy losses caused by the fire, people generally suspected that this should be caused by man-made arson. Nero heard that some people suspected that he had set fire secretly. In order not to escalate the rumors, he claimed that the disaster was a fire caused by Christian conspiracy. So he ordered the arrest of Christians, publicly torture them cruelly - crucified, put animal skins and let the evil dogs bite them to death, and nailed them to pillars as candles.

External: Peace in the East

In 55 AD, a coup occurred in Armenia, the eastern vassal state of Rome. Finally, the prince of Parthia, Tiredats, entered Armenia and became the new king. Since Rome has always regarded Armenia as its protector, the exiled Armenians asked Nero for assistance. So Nero sent the Germanic Legion commander Korbrou to let him fully handle Eastern affairs.

In Parthia, it was believed that Armenia was similar to Persia in culture, so it decided to manage Armenian affairs on its own without a comment. Parthia King Vologis I rejected Rome's request to restore the old king and appointed his younger brother Tiridates as the king of Armenia. In 58, the Roman army led by Korblo entered the East and launched a series of battles with the Parthia-Armenian coalition. In 59, Korblo captured the capital of Armenia, drove away Parthia's power, and Tiridates fled. Rome supported Tigranis as the king of Armenia. Nero believed that the war had ended, so he transferred Korblo back to Syria.

In 1962, the deposed Tiridates entered Armenia again under the protection of Parthian army. Nero sent Paitus to lead the Roman army to fight, but suffered serious defeat. Parthia took control of Armenia again, and Tiridates ascended the throne again. So Nero appointed Kolbrou in Syria to fight again. Because Kolbrou's reputation had considerable influence in the local area, when Kolbrou established a bunker on the Euphrates River, it caused great panic. Parthia did not want to fight with Kolbrou, so he sent an envoy to negotiate peace conditions with Nero.

In 1963, Parthia reached an agreement with Rome: to recognize Tiridates as the king of Armenia, but the king's crown must be awarded by the Roman emperor. Tiridates entered the military camp of Coleblo and, before Nero's statue, crowned Tiridates was crowned Tiridates by the acting emperor before Nero's statue. Later, Tiridates went to Rome in person, and Nero crowned him again and welcomed him with a grand celebration. Therefore, Nero maintained a fairly good reputation in the place. After Nero's suicide, three fake Nero appeared, one of whom was respected by Armenia. On the other hand, the eastern border of Rome has maintained peace for seventy years.
