Course Description: Nero, the last of the Julio-Claudian emperors and the last descendant of Augustus on the throne, is a controversial figure who is considered as one of the best examples of a bad ruler. For those who want to learn more about his life - besides Tacitus' account in the Annales which is only partially preserved - the best source is Suetonius' famous biography of Nero. In this course, students will read and discuss this work in the original language. Besides the historical aspect, special attention will be paid to the acquisition of new vocabulary.
