Context: Sporus was a young boy with whom Emperor Nero fell in love with, going even as far as castrating the boy to make him more feminine. After Nero was killed, multiple pretenders to the throne arose, the first of which was the Praetorian Praefect Nymphidius, who took Sporus as his own wife, and later came Otho, who after dealing with Nymphidius ALSO took Sporus as his wife. After Otho fell from power, the next Emperor Vitellius thought the whole situation was kinda cringe and intended to humiliate Sporus, which caused him/her to commit suicide.
So yeah, must’ve been some grade A femboy that one.

Nero is a person, where you think he was a horrible piece of shit.
Turns out, the real stories are even whackier and Nero was a different breed of crazy. Like genuinely, even the story of his Christian persecution has a multitude of different layers.

Nero is probably being deep-fried in hell for all the depraved stuff that he did
