Nero's reign was a mixed bag. The elite hated him but the poor adored him. The first five years of his reign were mild and benevolent as he was guided by Burrus
and Seneca. After their dismissal, Nero began his wild spending sprees, stage and chariot performances, and lavish gifts to individuals and towns. Running short of cash
, Nero began confiscating the wealth of the upper classes and that's where he got his bad reputation. However he was the favorite of the poor. His public performances brought the emperor closer to the people and his gifts to them made him one of their favorites. After the great fire that destroyed most of the city, Nero housed and fed the homeless out of his own private funds. He rebuilt the city with safety in mind and he prosecuted the Christians who were accused of arson.

Is Nero gay the Roman Emperor?
Well I actually know the answer to this question because I know two slaves that were around under his reign. Yes their dead now, kind of, but you just gotta trust me. He wasn't gay exactly. But he defiantly was bi-sexual. Also he was into bestiality, animals / animal skins. He was also into incest, doing many things to his mother.
