.webp "Roman-and-greek")
At the beginning of the first century AD, Rome began a completely new stage in its historical stages, this stage is the beginning of the era of the Roman Empire, Rome before the imperial system went through other stages, starting with the monarchy and then the republican system until the era of Augustus Caesar came, this man who completely controlled Rome and forced the Roman Senate to recognize him as emperor of Rome, and indeed a new era began in the history of Rome, one of the most important features of this era was not to restrict the authority of The emperor by any other authority, and this caused disasters in some periods of the reign of the Roman emperors.
Who is Emperor Nero!
Emperor Nero is the adopted son of Emperor Claudius is also the son of Queen Agrippinia, who sought with all her might to convince Claudius to take Nero as emperor of Rome instead of his eldest son, this may seem strange, but what really happened is that Agrippinia has already succeeded in convincing Claudius of that, due to the naivety of Emperor Claudius, who was considered by some historians that he was sometimes characterized by idiocy, who once he died Nero became the actual emperor of Rome.
A big disaster!
Emperor Nero's way to the throne was an unexpectedly easy road, and this led to the lack of responsibility from Nero in the administration of the state, he was neglected for the affairs of government to the maximum and it is said that he was oppressing the leaders and administrators in his state, but with the presence of his mother Agrippinia it was under control, but with Nero's intense love for wine, fun and music, she met in one of the bars a dancer and called Bobby, this prostitute convinced Nero to divorce his wife Octavia and marry her and indeed he did Nero convinced him of the need to get rid of his mother, Agrippinia, who always warned him not to marry Bobby, and indeed Nero carried out his advice to Bobby and got rid of his mother, who cursed him in her last days.
After Nero got rid of his mother, he got rid of the last wise voice that was preventing him from his superstitious behavior, and indeed Nero began to decay to the maximum degree to the point that he always attended crazy parties and indulged in the midst of prostitutes, also he disguised himself as slaves and was practicing theft in the streets of Rome, all this was normal compared to what Nero suddenly decided to do, which is to burn Nero completely, it may seem that this act is never issued except by a crazy ruler, but Nero is already this ruler.
The Fire of Rome!
Nero began to ignite fires from the wooden base of the large circus, where the fire broke out and spread strongly for a whole week, destroying as a result a complete revival and it is said that the number of burned neighborhoods reached ten neighborhoods out of fourteen neighborhoods, this means that more than two-thirds of the city has been destroyed, this is in addition to the killing of thousands of the people of Rome in this huge fire, in which the people accused Nero of being the cause of the events of this huge fire, which At the time of the fire in the city, he was sitting on top of a high tower, watching the fire devour his people, holding his musical instrument and singing Homer's poems describing the fire of Troy.
Scapegoat!
Nero already realized how angry the people of Rome were with him so he wanted to make a scapegoat in order to blame him, Nero could not find better than the Christians to blame them for this fire and indeed Nero did so, this caused a great wave of persecution and injustice against Christians in all the territory of the Roman Empire, no one was spared from the campaigns of murder and torture that occurred to the extent that some senior Christian clergy were killed in these events, along with his sources. Some church property, and even more tragically, the persecution of Christians became a habit after him to the extent that every emperor who is unable to run his state or commits crimes against his people, blames the Christians for this and begins the campaigns of persecution and torture, which continued until the reign of Emperor Constantine, who recognized Christianity as the official religion of his state.
Some historians have not yet found a convincing explanation for the real reason why Nero burned Rome completely, but it is strange that some mention that Nero was seeking to rebuild Rome again with the planning that he saw in his imagination, others thought that Nero was impressed with Homer's notice of the famous Trojan fire, so he wanted to represent him on the ground, the most realistic suggestion is that Nero did this because he wanted to get rid of Christianity, this religion that was At the beginning at this time, who was calling for justice and equality, this matter limited the power of Nero, this dictator who loved alcohol and play, so he saw that this was the only solution to get rid of Christianity forever.
Nero's departure!
roma the increase in conflicts and civil wars during the reign of Nero went to Greece in order to practice his favorite identity in poetry, acting and singing, but during that a revolution occurred in Gaul led by Findex one of the nobles of France, and he was actually able to defeat Nero, in addition to Nero's inability to manage the state and the increasing anger of politicians and senior statesmen around him who abandoned him in his last days, Nero fled to one of the huts belonging to one of his servants, who was still loyal to him, and indeed Nero committed suicide In this hut, after realizing that everyone had abandoned him, and I also believe that the Romans were coming to take revenge on him, so he committed suicide.
