The Nero-Antichrist: Founding and Fashioning a Paradigm
(Classics after Antiquity)
by Shushma Malik
Here's a review:
The author shows that the Nero-antichrist paradigm is better understood as the product of late antiquity rather than the first century. The so-called Neronian references in the bible do not easily fit the emperor. Late antiquity and the nineteenth-century were the periods in which the Nero-Antichrist paradigm was most influential. The nature of the paradigm was set in late antiquity and did not change in the intervening period. Malik covers Nero from ancient history to modern books and film.
