In the year 54, the Roman Emperor Claudius died, and his adopted son Nero became the Emperor of Rome at the age of 16.
His reign was one of the most infamous in history, and over 2000 years after he came to power, his name is still used to invoke the image of a cruel ruler and a despot.
But what exactly made him so bad, and was he really as bad as the legends say?
Learn more about Emperor Nero and why his reign became so infamous on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
