“Our goal here is to show that this, however popular, image is actually based on very, very biased accounts and therefore we should challenge it. The Nero story is about how we should approach information, how we should always approach our sources critically. This is relevant for Nero, it’s relevant for historians, archaeologists, it is relevant for everyday people living their everyday lives.” — Thorsten Opper
