Here are a few examples of how insane Nero was.   He fought in the arena as a gladiator against wild animals, but they were all drugged, so he was not in any danger and could not lose.  He hired a group of youths to follow him around and applaud.  The Bees made a loud humming sound, the Tiles clapped with cupped hands, and the Bricks clapped with flat hands.  When his wife was pregnant, she complained about being tired after a day at the chariot races.  He kicked her to death.  He then replaced her with a young boy who looked like her.
