Who is Nero from The Twelve Caesars and what is their importance?

Definitely one of the stranger emperors, Nero is a very cruel leader. He loves music and holds shows forcing people to listen to him. He has many horrible vices, including being unfaithful, and has so little respect for everything and everyone around him that he even rapes the Vestal Virgin Rubria and kills his own mother. The world tires of Nero and Galba sends in troops to kill him. The Senate turns against him as well and he ends up committing suicide. The Julian house stops with Nero since his only heir is a daughter and she is killed after his death.
