Answer:Nero was known as a terrifying tyrant, a heir to the infamous Claudius, who constructed roads, aqueducts, and many more. However, Nero instead took advantage of Rome's great fire, which killed thousands and burned homes and cities to the ground. In fact, Nero himself was a prime suspect, but he diverted the blame to the constantly persecuted Chiristians. Nero built a massive pleasure palace, featuring bejeweled walls and many more, and ordered his mother to be killed, as she was a threat to his power. Stories claim she said to stab her in her womb, as that was where Nero was sired. Nero also promoted the persecution of Christians, and heavily increased taxes.

I’m not sure if this is right but Nero built a palace, the Golden House, which was apparently magnificent, but it was so resented by the public and by his successors that it was almost completely dismantled. His armies put down rebellions in Britain and Judaea, he was an enthusiastic patron of the arts, and he was lenient toward his enemies.
