Best Answer

Yes, Nero was a very popular emperor with the common Roman people. It was the aristocrats who hated him and its from this class of Roman society that we get all the negative things about him. There are many reasons for this hatred of Nero by the upper class. However the common people liked the idea of an emperor making public appearances and to them Nero was "one of the boys" and not some remote being on the Palatine hill. For five years after his death the common people brought flower to his tomb and fifteen years after his death an impostor, claiming to be Nero, raised an army in Parthia and almost started a war.
