(2,717 posts)beergood: this is some grade A authoritarian bull. a post in support of Nero and Caligula?
The bull is 'beergoods', he posts no argument. She hasn't defended her position that nero & gaius C were 'tyrants', & your retort posts nothing of substance either, except to falsely imply I was some kind of fan of the both of them. They only gain some kind of 'tyrannical' label due their name recognition, is all (some do regard them as tyrants). Neither was one of the worst tyrants in history, as she described them. You could substitute hundreds of others with similar or worse tyrant records than C & nero.
Make your argument or rebuttal as to why nero & C were indeed tyrants.

what I wrote in previous post: Hardly, they were too young (29 & 31 at death) to ever have really reached that distinction; indeed Nero's first 5 years are referred to as 'golden' years. Caligula & Nero just ended up run of the mill incompetent roman emperors who done some good & committed a few atrocities plus the usual gamut of rights & wrongs, not the first not the last. Nero's 'genocide' against Christians is probably overstated.
