Nero's Golden House Party - Emperor Nero AD 67

You're imperiously invited to a night out at the greatest party palace the world has ever seen - The Domus Aurea or "Golden House."Hosted by fiddle playing* narcissist Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus - better known as Emperor Nero in an  orgy of first century ancient roman extravagance.Bring your own dormice and vomiting bowl and leave your inhibitions at the door.Did Nero really fiddle during The Great Fire of Rome?What deeply unpleasant way did he illuminate his garden?Was he the finest poet in the Roman Empire?To what lengths did people go to avoid listing to his poems? It's a possibly libellous tale of appalling poetry, sadistic violence, narcissism and magnificent architecture.And it's in episode 7 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - the podcast of bad behaviour in period costume.MusicSanctum by Scott Buckley | www.scottbuckley.com.auMusic promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Thanks for listening.
