Нерон. Блеск накануне тьмы

64 god n. ė., desi͡atyĭ god pravlenii͡a Nerona. Novai͡a zhena, krasavit͡sa Poppei͡a Sabina, starshe imperatora na shestʹ let. Ona vlastoli͡ubiva, predpriimchiva i obladaet izoshchrennym umom. Neron uzhe i ne myslit, kak pravitʹ gosudarstvom bez ee podderzhki. No sbyvaetsi͡a rokovoe prorochestvo sivilly - Rim gibnet v ogne. Po strane polzut slukhi, chto pozhar voznik ne sluchaĭno, a po vole Nerona. Ėti slukhi budorazhat ne tolʹko prostonarodʹe, no i znatʹ. Ponimai͡a, chto ego sudʹba teperʹ nerazryvno svi͡azana s sudʹboĭ Rima, Neron kli͡anetsi͡a vozdvignutʹ na ruinakh novyĭ gorod - i mir oslepnet ot ego velikolepii͡a. No ne vsem po nravu stolʹ derzkiĭ zamysel. V imperii zreet zagovor, i͡avnye vragi Nerona zakli͡uchai͡ut soi͡uzy s ego lozhnymi druzʹi͡ami. Vpervye na russkom!

64 A.D., the tenth year of Nero's reign. The new wife, the beautiful Poppea Sabina, is six years older than the emperor. She is power-hungry, enterprising and has a sophisticated mind. Nero no longer thinks how to rule the state without her support. But the fatal prophecy of the Sibyl comes true — Rome is dying in flames. Rumors are spreading throughout the country that the fire did not occur by chance, but by the will of Nero. These rumors excite not only the common people, but also the nobility. Realizing that his fate is now inextricably linked with the fate of Rome, Nero vows to build a new city on the ruins — and the world will be blinded by its splendor. But not everyone likes such an audacious idea. A conspiracy is brewing in the empire, Nero's obvious enemies are making alliances with his false friends. For the first time in Russian!
