Description

You're imperiously invited to a night out at the greatest party palace the world has ever seen - The Domus Aurea or "Golden House."
Hosted by fiddle playing* narcissist Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus - better known as Emperor Nero in an  orgy of first century ancient roman extravagance.
Bring your own dormice and vomiting bowl and leave your inhibitions at the door.

• Did Nero really fiddle during The Great Fire of Rome?
• What deeply unpleasant way did he illuminate his garden?
• Was he the finest poet in the Roman Empire?
• To what lengths did people go to avoid listing to his poems?

 It's a possibly libellous tale of appalling poetry, sadistic violence, narcissism and magnificent architecture.

And it's in episode 7 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - the podcast of bad behaviour in period costume.
