The Emperor Nero

Today in West Civ we basically had an “off” class. All we did was watch a video on Neo, who was an emperor of Rome and just so happened to be absolutely insane. Mr. Schick said we didn’t really need to take notes on it so I guess it won’t be on the test. The video was actually kind of creepy. Neo was like bankrupting Rome, trying to find money to build a statue of himself. The Senate was against him so they planned to assassinate him I guess. He ended up finding out and he tortured the truth out of them. The one guy forced a hand full of salt into one man’s eye. I bet that didn’t feel so good. Anyway, that’s where we ended off. It was pretty gory because the last thing I remember seeing was a guy getting stabbed in the neck. Maybe we will continue watching it tomorrow.
