Title: An Excellent Introduction
Review: This pamphlet provides a good introduction to the emperor Nero and the history of his reign. In less than 100 pages a good foundation for understanding the chief events of Nero's reign. We also gain some insights into his personality but this book is written as a history, not a biography. Hence the concentration is more focused on where Nero fits into the Julio-Claudian dynasty. So while not dealing with Nero in detail this slender volume admirably fills the role of primer to a fascinating period and a guide to further reading.
