Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (15 December 37 AD - 9 June 68 AD) Roman Emperor born Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus

  • His dying words: "Qualis artifex pereo!" -> "What an artist dies in me!"

(probably the most known of all Nero's phrases, yet not a phrase that he coined, as it was a fairly common latin phrase)

  • When moving into his new (mile long) house after the great fire of Rome: "Finally I can live like a human being"
  • "Hidden talent counts for nothing"
