I don’t know where this urge to whitewash Nero is coming from but it’s worth noting that the stories of child sacrifice in Carthage were widely considered propaganda until archeologists uncovered evidence of it. It’s impossible that any historical source avoids all bias, but incredibly cruel things happened in the past and it’s a mistake to discount it all just because the source shows bias. I hope 2000 years from now people don’t claim the Holocaust was just western propaganda from the victors of the war and make Hitler out to be a hero. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/jan/21/carthaginians-sacrificed-own-children-study https://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/jan/21/carthaginian...
