Nero

Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus was born at Antium in 37 A.D., the son of Cneius Domitius Ahenobarbus and Agrippina Junior. He became Caesar in 50 A.D., and Augustus from 54 A.D. His name is a byword for extravagance and extreme behaviour. Reputed to have fiddled while Rome burned, his many enemies are thought to have spread rumours that he had started the great fire which destroyed half the city in 64 A.D. He committed suicide in 68 A.D.
