Follow up to Confessions of a Young Nero, this story of Nero as an adult includes the rebuilding of Rome after the great fire, attending the Olympics, and living with his ill-fated wife. The author sees Nero as a man with three personalities. 1. Daylight Nero, who wears a toga and performs Imperial duties in public 2. Artist Nero who strives for public acclaim as a performer and 3. Dark Nero, who will stop at nothing to protect Nero 1 and 2. Nero is seen in a much better light than in most histories, and the author seems to excuse many of his more notorious acts.
