...mort de Britannicus." C'est aussi l'histoire de la naissance du monstre Neron dont on ne connait pas la nature quand le rideau se leve. Tandis que Neron decouvre son genie, la tragedie est rendue sensible par le conflit des gouverneurs, Burrhus, soldat honnete si maladroit, et Narcisse, anguille glissante...
