Hey,
I'm very curious about Nero currently and I am wondering if there is any good book I can grav that has a comparably good story telling and is understandable.
I have heard of Tacitus annales, but that is not just about Nero and also seems not so much ... Specific? Or rather it has a strange writing style, at least the translation I grabbed.
I would love if someone has a good recommendation in English or preferably German hehe.
Thank you

I used the Bryn Mawr Classical review to find these recommendations. That is a great resource for doing literature searches.
