Nero was the Roman emperor who reigned from 54-68 AD. Although not mentioned by name, he was likely the "Caesar" referred to in Paul's letters written during his imprisonment in Rome (Php.4.22, 2 Timothy Php 4:22). Nero was known for his brutal persecution of Christians. According to church tradition, both Paul and Peter were martyred during Nero's reign.
