Pic - Nero



(By John William Waterhouse (1849-1917) / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:RemorsodeNero.jpg / United States public domain tag: PD-US)


Nero was an ancient Roman Emperor from 54 to 68. His notable wars included the British Revolt of 60–61 and the First Roman–Jewish War.

On another note, doesn't the once popular "Nero burning ROM" software, an optical disc burning program, have a fantastic yet provocative name? (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nero_Burning_ROM#Name .)
