Nero's real name was Lucius. In full, his mother called him: Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus. That was, on a good day.

Nero was Roman emperor number five. His years of ruling were 54 until 68.

In 64, the first persecution of the Christians took place, at Rome under Nero.

Nero's palace in Rome was the Domus Aurea, which is translated the House of Gold. He built this house in the newly available space, which was created by the great fire of AD 64.
