Is there a non zero chance Nero was slandered by political opponents? Remember reading that on one of those old "secret history" type books.
Yes. In general most of what we think we know about the emperors in terms of anecdotes are suspect relative to positive or negative biases in sources.
It'd be kind of like history fans in 4024 talking about George Washington and cherry trees.
