Most shit with Nero was pretty gnarly if I remember correctly, he was the person most scholars of that period agree the Antichrist in revelation is supposed to be, that in particular may have primarily been because he implemented taxes on religious organizations though… again it’s been a while since I studied either but I do remember Nero being fucked up even by the standards of Roman emperors
No joke, didn’t Nero marry a trans woman?
More like forcibly feminized a young slave that resembled his late wife, whom he had beaten to death. I wouldn’t exactly hold him up as an ally.
Holy shit, that took a turn.
