Emperor Nero: A Scandalous Legacy

Where does Emperor Nero fit in the pantheon of history's worst f*ckboys?

Does he measure up against the likes of previous episodes on Charles II or Raphael? Is he the worst of the lot? And what strange sex games did he like to play?

Helping Kate getting to know the awful Emperor Nero is returning guest, Rome-based historian and tour guide, Alex Meddings.

This episode was edited by Tom Delargy and produced by Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Charlotte Long.
