There are some funny things, in the Life Of Nero. Pretty well all accounts of how Nero went about murdering his mother are hilarious in their own right - collapsible boat, anyone? - and the notion that he thought her ghost was after him is also good (as you can see by the comic). Nero's neck beard is perhaps imperial action on a weak chin in the same way George IV's high collars were an action on double chins.
I feel you have to take early Roman historians with a grain of salt but nevertheless, please enjoy this account of Nero by Suetonius, where on no uncertain terms Nero is described as stinky, with a pot belly and a mullet, and generally gross in person. For those of you going to Emerald City in Seattle next weekend, you can find me with the Topatoco crew. |
