The Emperor Nero Part 2

Today in Western Civilization we continued watching the scary video about Nero. In this part of the video Nero basically lost it. He kicked his wife, who just so happened to be caring his unborn baby, to death. Come on now Nero, pull yourself together. Then, instead of burying her, he stuffed her body with species and sat her on her throne. There were literally flies flying around her decaying body, like…..gross. Then he had this weird break down in front of the senate and walked out. We ended at the part when the senate made Nero an official enemy. Hopefully they try to kill him because he is just a mess. In one scene he met a slave boy who reminded him of his wife so he turned him into a girl and forced him to act as his dead wife. Honestly, I would be quite terrified to live in this era of ancient Rome. Literally every couple of seconds someone ends up getting stabbed.
