What do you do when a great tragedy, say a huge fire, has destroyed your city? Build a huge palace of gold, of course! This week on That Time When, Barnaby finishes telling us about the life of the Emperor Nero, and how his own excesses and impulse control problems led to his downfall. Not that Rome was going to have an easy time once he was gotten rid of, but that's a story for another time.
