"Interstellar" - Ross Bugden.
A collection of saved and restored paintings/murals/frescoes etc from Nero's Magnificent Golden House. Saved by Artists working on the spot, when the place was newly discovered, and before they crumbled/faded/disappeared forever.
There's still traces left but.....sad.
I reckon Nero got a raw deal in History and wasn't the villain he's portrayed as being ( Hollywood and various Classical/Ecclesiastical writers notwithstanding ).
He wasn't a "warmonger", and was heavily into Culture/Music etc. But he made powerful enemies amongst the ruling elite, and they hounded him to his suicide. Creating a power vacuum and the year of the 4 emperors.
His successors defamed him bigtime. And built the ugly Coliseum ( a place of pain and suffering ) on the largely demolished Golden House.
What a contrast.
I envy you Kai/Catfish... you've been there...if you go there again and happen to bump into Nero's ghost, please shake his hand for me.
