The Life of Nero

Chapter 55

Suetonius

translated by J. C. Rolfe

55He had a longing for immortality and undying fame, though it was ill-regulated. With this in view he took their former appellations from many things and numerous places and gave them new ones from his own name. He also called the month of April Neroneus and was minded to name Rome Neropolis.
