Curators' Tour of Nero: The Man Behind the Myth - The British Museum
"Exhibition curators, Thorsten Opper and Francesca Bologna take us on an in-depth tour of the latest exhibition at the British Museum - Nero: The Man Behind the Myth. The show challenges the traditional view of the emperor as a ruthless and eccentric tyrant and follows the young ruler as he navigated a divided society and momentous events in the history of Rome." video introduction.
