Nero was a very important figure in the history of Rome. He was the last of his dynasty and his death ushered in a period of instability. His death led to a period of civil war that was the first in almost one hundred years. Nero was the first to persecute Christians and he set a precedent for that religion's persecution that was to continue off and on for almost three centuries.
