Nero, Roman Emperor from AD 54 to 68. He was passionately fond of the theatre and appeared frequently on stage, not only as a dancer in
pantomime but as a solo tragic actor in such parts as the Mad Hercules, the Blind Oedipus, the Matricide Orestes, even Canace in Travail. On such occasions he wore a mask, but the features were always modelled on his own or on those of his current mistress. From his famous theatrical tour of Greece in AD 66–7 he returned with 1,808 triumphal crowns. Even his worst crimes do not seem to have shocked conservative opinion in Rome as much as these antics—a fact which illustrates the low status of professional entertainers under the Empire.
