Representing Rome's Emperors
An Emperor’s War on Greece
When reading Cassius Dio’s account of Nero’s reign, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the sheer, unrelenting criminality of the emperor. In fact, Dio’s Nero is not as much a man as a representation of a rhetorical tyrant.

In doing this, Dio not only contradicts Tacitus and Suetonius, but also discounts the praise o…
Classical Antiquity

From the third we learn that Cucuta was a financial secretary ( a rationibus ) of Nero ( CIL 4…
