Starting later next month, and spread across various sites in Rome, a major exhibition that attempts to redraw the public image, albeit slightly, of the Emperor Nero, ‘Nerone‘.
The blurb accompanying the exhibition talks of Nero being given a bad (false) press by the aristocrats of the time – as soon as there’s something available in English we’ll add a link.
Please note that the opening event for this exhibition means that the Colosseum (as well as the Forum and Palatine Hill area) will be closing early (at 14.00) on the 11th of April 2011.
