Insane Nero

Today in West Civ, Mr.Schick thought we had been acting tolerable, so he let us watch a movie. We watched a movie on Nero, one of the emperors in the Roman Empire. He wasn't completely insane in the beginning of his life, but the power ruined him. Someone said that if you give too much power to the wrong person, bad things will happen. Nero even went under water at one point to avoid hearing the words of his assistant "retiring." He decided to make Rome flourish with the arts, but couldn't afford the costs. He wanted to be their god. He even stole money from the temples to pay for the marble city, after a fire that burnt everything down.
