A: A lot at the end. When he first took the throne after the death of Tiberius (murdered on his deathbed by Nero's mother, Agrippina the Younger), Nero was enormously popular. But his extravagance and bizarre behavior alienated the patrician class (Nero murdered his mother among other things) and at the end of his rule he was weakened by military revolts. Facing certain execution, Nero committed suicide, ending the Julio-Claudian dynasty. His death was followed by a period of anarchy and civil war, during which there was a succession of short-lived emperors. Eventually, General Vespasian became emperor and founded a new dynasty. Vespasian is remembered as one of Rome's "good emperors."

He is C.Hainsaw!

Our goal with these features is to bring information more directly to you so you don’t have to search for it - and we hope you’ll let us know if we’ve achieved that goal. Now, without further ado, an overview of said features:
Asking a question? Looking up a person, place or thing? No problem - before you’ve even finished typing, we’ll show you if there’s a matching reference article - or if someone in the community has answered your question.
