Nero: Makers of History Written by Jacob Abbott--updated for younger readers Foreword by Ben House Nero The name is both a shame and a shudder. And thanks to his prominent position, Nero's example of monstrosity has stood as a lesson and a warning to all men since. In his life we are presented with an astonishing picture of human greed, cunning, and selfishness at its worst.
When he died, escaping human vengeance at the end, he lamented that so splendid a genius should have to pass away. Born of Agrippina, of whom only such a son was worthy, he ran the gamut of every human crime and folly, making the Roman Empire minister to his atrocities. This thrilling biography--written by Jacob Abbott and newly edited for younger readers--offers a glimpse into the life of this spoiled prince who became a royal monster.
Nero is part of Makers of History, a 19th century biography series by two
