When [[Prasutagus]] left half of his kingdom to Nero and the other half to his daughters, Nero annexed the entire kingdom, resulting in a failed revolt by [[Boudica]] in [[60]].

In [[July]] [[64]], Nero's slave buyer [[Tavius]] bought [[Barbara Wright]] and brought her to the palace. Nero immediately took to her and gleefully chased her around the palace until they were caught by his wife. When the [[First Doctor]] came to stay, pretending to be [[Maximus Pettulian]], Nero grew jealous of his popularity and was about to kill him when the Doctor set fire to his plans for a new Rome, which had previously been rejected by the Senate. From this, Nero was inspired to [[Great Fire of Rome|burn the old capital]] so his new city could be built. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Romans (TV story)|The Romans]]'')
