Was Nero Evil?

I think that you can never truly say that a person was absolutely evil. Everyone has redeeming qualities, it isn't inherently evil to like all things Greek or to have a love a music, plus the general populous loved him. However, it is very clear that Nero was not a good person, considering how his opponents, perceived or no, dropped like flies, even his mother. In addition, it is very unlikely that a good person would have a rumor about them going out at night to mug, attack, rape people, etc. Therefore, I would say that no, Nero was not evil through and through but he did a lot of evil thing and that makes him a bad person.
