Biography

Nero and the Jews

As governor in Judea, Nero first confirmed Felix (appointed by Claudius in 52), then replaced him with Festus (58-62), Albinus (62-64), and Florus (64-66).

Nero failed to prevent the outbreak of the Jewish War.

Nero has also the reputation of being the first persecutor of Christianity. Both Peter and Paul are believed to have been executed in Rome during his reign.
