Nero. Brilliance on the Eve of Darkness

AD 64, the tenth year of Nero's reign. The new wife, the beauty Poppaea Sabina, is six years older than the emperor. She is ambitious, resourceful, and possesses a sophisticated mind. Nero can no longer imagine ruling the state without her support. But the fateful prophecy of the Sibyl comes true — Rome is perishing in flames. Rumors are spreading across the country that the fire was not an accident, but by Nero’s will. These rumors stir not only the common people but also the nobility. Understanding that his fate is now inseparably linked to the fate of Rome, Nero vows to build a new city on the ruins — and the world will be blinded by its grandeur. But not everyone is pleased with such a daring plan. A conspiracy is brewing in the empire, open enemies of Nero are forming alliances with his false friends. For the first time in Russian!
