Spurius 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2005 What a choice, three trollops/courtiers and a psycho emporer. While I'm tempted to say Agrippina, just because Nero wouldn't have gotten far without her initial efforts, I'll have to follow the trend and say Nero. Nasty-boy there... Really, you should have thrown some others in there...people of power... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Primus Pilus 10 Report post Posted June 8, 2005 And 'evil' is really subjective, though I do understand the point. While each of the women mentioned carried a certain cunning and sinister side, along with a good deal of ambition, in the end it was Nero who had the ultimate responsibility for various imperial actions.

Primus Pilus 10 Report post Posted June 8, 2005 Side note: just realized something is wrong with our polling system. It won't seem to let us vote if we've already posted. We'll try to look into that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moonlapse 1 Report post Posted June 9, 2005 (edited) Test... I was able to vote after posting. Are you guys hitting 'View Results' before submitting a vote? I'll see if I can change that, since it submits a null vote. Edited June 9, 2005 by Moonlapse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pompeius magnus 2 Report post Posted June 10, 2005 I got to go with PP here, where is Commodus, you dont end the line of the good emperors stretching from Augustus to Aurellius and not get on this list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Germanicus 1 Report post Posted June 10, 2005 Commodus....way worse than Nero for the Empire. Guess it depends on you definition of evil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Primus Pilus 10 Report post Posted June 10, 2005 I think the poster is talking about a very specific time period and group of people. It doesn't really matter if someone else is worse, because the poster is only asking who was the worst of these 4 people. Why, you ask? I have no clue,either, but let's focus on his poll. Perhaps there is a reason for it. (And hopefully he will provide it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
