Biography

Nero became emperor in 54 A.D., and his passion for theater and luxury led him to appoint a courtier named Petronius—likely Titus or possibly Gaius—as his Arbiter elegantiae, or judge of elegance. Tacitus described Petronius as a man who "made luxury a fine art" and who "spent his days sleeping and his nights working and enjoying himself." Petronius set the trends in fashion and art at the Imperial court, where he wrote his masterpiece, the satirical "The Satyricon," probably around 61 A.D. However, Nero was unpredictable, and his favor was fickle. Jealousy from a rival caused Petronius’ downfall. He fled to Cumae, but Nero’s followers caught up with him. There, Petronius documented a full account of the emperor’s many debaucheries and crimes, entertained his friends, and destroyed his signet ring to prevent its misuse. In 66 A.D., Petronius opened his veins and died by suicide, evading Nero’s reach. His most renowned work, "The Satyricon," was not published until 1664.
