There are many good things that Nero did for the Roman people but we only remember him for the scandals and (exaggerated) perversions, due to the ancient historians who always tried to moralize. For starters, he reduced heavy taxes. He gave salaries to impoverished senators, He introduced fire-fighting regulations and the use of fire-preventing materials in buildings. He did away with the public banquets and replaced them with grain distribution. He is said to have devised a method of forgery prevention. He passed laws, punishing the charioteers for their rowdy behaviors in the city, he gave Rome its first imperial bath. The parks and gardens of his Golden house were open to the public for recreation.
Although rarely given credit for it, Nero did several good things as emperor. Some of them are the curbing of the excesses of the chariot drivers, the gift to the people of the first of the imperial baths, the rebuilding of the city after the Great Fire according to strict safety codes, the innovations in his Golden House, such as use of the dome and a revolving ceiling, the reduction of taxes for Greece and peace with Parthia.

Who is Claudius the Roman Emperor?
Claudius was the emperor who followed Caligula. After Caligula's murder, the Praetorians were looking for someone to become emperor and they were said to have found Claudius hiding behind a drape. Because he was the only member of the imperial family to be found, he was hailed as emperor. At least that's how the story goes. At any rate, Claudius, who was not trained for public life due to his physical challenges, became emperor and with the help of his advisers turned out to be a fairly good emperor and left the state in good shape and good financial health at his death. He adopted Nero as his heir over his own son and when he showed signs of changing his mind, Nero's mother is said to have poisoned him before he could act.
