Nero #45 – Grand Slam

About this episode

The episode discusses Nero's fear of retribution and his obsession with becoming a champion in the Games before his return to Rome.

Nero didn’t visit Athens or Sparta while in Greece because he was scared of religious and political retribution. Besides, he was too busy trying to become the periodonikes, the Grand Slam champion of all of the Games. But things weren’t going well back at Rome, so he is finally convinced to return. He had six months left to live. The post Nero #45 – Grand Slam appeared first on Life Of The Caesars .
