A lot of the trash talk about him was made up by Christian historians, I'm pretty sure the "beating his pregnant wife to death" is confirmed, or at the very least heavily debated, to be one of the made up bullshit. And yes, it's generally believed that he is the "beast" from Revelation butt again that's because of the early Christian hate. It's probably because he accused the early Christian sect of causing the fire of Rome (which we're still not sure they didn't), and the whole "throwing them to lions" thing, and they fought back by spreading shit about him.
Marrying a castrated slave lover is legit though, and IINM I think Nero was the one dressed as the bride.
Yeah I’m not trying to say that the early Christian’s were being 100% forthright about it, and like I said I’m way rusty so maybe I shouldn’t of said anything, but considering what we can say we know about him in terms of deeds, makes him at minimum a big piece of shit, I’m inclined to believe he might have done some fucked up shit to others given his power as an emperor and how that usually works in history.
