Chapter 12 prophesied roman emperor

In the history of Rome, there is another emperor who is no less famous than Caesar-Nero.However, what Nero left behind was notoriety through the ages. His cruel and tyrannical ruling method can be described as "there is no one before, and no one will come after". Historians of ancient Rome have left records showing that Nero made Christians wear animal skins in his unique arena and fought hungry beasts in the arena.As a result, these people are always eaten alive by wild beasts.Nero used almost every means to persecute Christians.He tied people to crosses, poured oil on them, and lit them as torches to light up the night.

Even the most despicable thing is that Nero not only had incest with his mother, but even killed her brutally after completing the sex. Such a tyrant, after Caesar, finally became the protagonist in various prophecies.An astrologer once predicted Nero's fate. He said that Nero would become the youngest emperor of the Roman Empire, but he would also be a tyrant who would even kill his own mother. And this sentence was verified one by one by the later facts. Nero was born in a prominent family in ancient Rome—the Domitius family. Many members of this family have served as executive officers and inspectors in Rome for many times. Many members of the group also have bad deeds, and there are even many villains and bullies.It is precisely because of this that Nero's family was the most criticized object at that time.

Nero was born in AD 37.According to Roman tradition, after the child was born, he had to find some psychic fortune-tellers to predict his future.Divination believes that when a person is born, the natural phenomena around him are the most telling omens of the future.When Nero was born, the sun had just risen from the east, and the sun just shone on Nero. Nero's father didn't think it was a good omen.Because he has an extremely deep understanding of his family, at a banquet with relatives and friends, his father even publicly said that this boy is likely to grow into a generation of demon kings in the future, which will bring great disaster to the world.When the father said this, his meaning was already very clear. He meant that even if Nero was the child of himself and his wife, even if he and his wife maintained a correct behavior, there was no guarantee that this child would become the object of human hatred and hatred in the future .

Out of doting on the newborn, the mother still invites a fortuneteller to predict the future of the child.At that time, the most famous soothsayers in Rome were invited, and these soothsayers uttered a terrible prophecy with one voice: this boy will one day become the supreme ruler of Rome, but when he ascended the throne, , will be cruel and cruel, and even kill his own mother. This prophecy shocked everyone.Someone suggested cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots, and disposing of this child in time is the best policy.But the mother who loves her son is not willing to end the newborn's life just based on the prophecy.The right to choose was finally handed over to the mother. She pondered for a moment, and finally made a decision that sounded very selfish. She said: "As long as he can be the emperor, he will do the rest."

As a result, the predictions made by the fortune-teller at the beginning all became reality in the end. Nero was only 17 years old when he succeeded to the throne, making him the youngest emperor in the history of the Roman Empire.In fact, shortly after his birth, his father died of illness.Without her husband's control, Nero's mother quickly captivated the Roman emperor Csudi by virtue of her beauty and political skills.A few years later, however, Kesudi died.It is also said that Nero's mother poisoned the emperor to death.But in any case, Nero became the only heir to the throne at this time.

All the prophecies about Nero are being fulfilled step by step.Nero's brutality was heinous, a Roman historian recorded in the book: "Nero inherited his mother and then ate her; he raped his sister; burned 12 blocks of Rome ; executed Seneca; vomited frogs in the Rutland; crucified St. Peter; beheaded St. Paul; reigned 13 years and 7 months; finally eaten by wolves." During Nero's reign, the whole of Rome was in a white terror.As long as it is the name mentioned by Nero, there is no one who will not be executed.From the high-ranking officials to the common people, people's lives are like toys that he can take away at will.Some were beheaded, some were forced to commit suicide, and some had their blood vessels cut open. Nero even cut off his teacher's hands cruelly.And in order to build his new palace, he even set the whole city of Rome on fire.

As his desire for power grew, in order to get rid of his mother's control, Nero finally pointed the finger at his biological mother.The mother never thought that her son would openly confront her, so she tried every means to exert political pressure on her son, even threatening him to replace his throne with others.This behavior obviously became the fuse of the life and death issue between the two.Nero took the first step to poison his 14-year-old brother to prevent his future troubles. This practice made the rift between mother and son irreparable.Later, the mother intervened in Nero's marriage, which finally made the mother and son turn against each other, and Nero also embarked on the road of prediction made by the fortune-teller.

Even though many scholars are more willing to attribute the reason for Nero's matricide to political struggles, they cannot get rid of the shadow of prophecy.No matter how unreliable divination, it finally hit the fate of Nero's life. I am afraid that Nero's mother would remember the suggestions of everyone at that time before she died, and began to regret not strangling Nero in her infancy.
