Nero's mother was implicated in Claudius' death and Nero's nomination as emperor. She dominated Nero's early life and decisions until he had her murdered in 59 AD. His rule is usually associated with tyranny and extravagance, and most sources offer overwhelmingly negative assessments of his personality and reign.
In 68 AD, Vindex, the governor of Gallia Lugdunensis, rebelled. He was supported by Galba, the governor of Hispania Tarraconensis. Nero fled Rome when Rome's discontented civil and military authorities chose Galba as emperor. He committed suicide on June 9, 68 AD.
