Nero died on June 9th, 68 AD, choosing to commit suicide rather than face the decree of the Senate which had sentenced him to be flogged to death because of his atrocities and loss of power over his own armies and allies. Suetonius writes that Nero fled Rome on the Salaria road, stabbing himself with the assistance of his secretary Epaphroditos when the praetorium guard caught up to him. His last words were: "Qualis artifex pereo" which translated reads "What an artist the world loses in me."

JordanI had ancient history and Do not recall Emperor Nero being a political suicide. Commodus, who was the successor to the very noble Marcus Aurelius, was an unstable maniac type who was eventually assassinated by a professional wrestler at an athletic contest- obviously not on the card! Nero may have died young, but I do not think he commited suicide.
