Perhaps one of the most captivating portrayals of emperor Nero is that of Peter Ustinov in the 1951 movie Quo Vadis. He portrays Nero as a self-absorbed psychopath who collects his tears in little bottles for posterity to behold and who fiddles like a madman while Rome burns. This portrayal is basically how modern pop culture understands Nero. The question is; is that portrayal historically correct? - Or is there more to the story of the emperor who was the first to persecute Christians on a large scale?
