The Great Fire of Rome: The Fall of the Emperor Nero and his City by Stephen Dando-Collins (nonfiction 2010)
This is a really interesting analysis of Nero's entire reign and the famous events that shaped it. Having been studying this very subject for 15 years, I learned a lot. The discussion of the informing crisis after the Piso Plot was great. Very exciting prose, though deeply learned.
