Last Roman emperor was Francis the second who died in 1835 -his empire THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE was abolished in 1805 by Napoleon.Technically it was a continuation of the Roman Empire in the west at least by virtue of the Pope's coronation of Charlemagne in 800 A.D. and the later confirmation of German monarchs like Otto by the papacy.The later Holy Roman emperors were usually of the Habsburg dynasty until 1805 when Napoleon defeated Austria and abolished the Empire to replace it with other entities.

To the huge number of would be self identifying geniuses - not Genii, as I suspect the self identified types believe - Nero is the last of the Augustine line, not the final Emperor - if you include the Eastern Empire that person did not fall till 1453 at the hands of Mehmed the Second - spotting this error in the title is NOT a Eureka moment and does not put you in contention for consideration by the Nobel Committee.

Isn't it strange that a strange modern-day historian want to make us believe his own account if what took place nearly 2000years ago? He tells us how his peers of old exaggerated and aggravated the personage of Nero as a monster but he will give us the right picture using commonsense and logic based on what those historians write, ehi? These so-called re-writers of history we have today are really pathetic! There have been people worse than Nero before and after him, probably more cruel and horrible but that does not mean he was not considered evil in some people's eyes. But we should also not always think that he was the epitome of evil, far from that.

Roman politics is American politics

All in all a good documentary, but not perfect. I have a question: why do modern historians or storytellers love to excuse and relativise ancient tyrannts? Would they do this with Hitler who loved art and was an artist? Who loved Greek and Roman culture? For sure as a human you will find always something to like in Nero and in Hitler, Stalin etc. What really was his downfall and what can we learn as humans? Pride? The lust for sexual perversions, to be adored by the populous, people? The hunger for blood, getting stimulated by the suffering, torture, murder of people? In the end Nero died, like everyone of us will one day, with nothing to take with him. Naked. So what is really important then?
