He would have supported her for doing what she thought was right.
The ancient writer Pliny the Elder said that the Circus Maximus had 250,000 seats. Modern historians think that a figure of 150,000 is more likely.
No he was not. It was said that he persecuted the Christians to use them as a scapegoat because there were accusations that he deliberately started the fire of 64 AD. Historians doubt that because in such an early days, it is unlikely that the Christians were already distinguished from the Jews in Rome. It is also doubtful that Nero started the fire. It is likely that these were allegations made by later ancient historians who were hostile to him.
Leopold II's barbarity in the Congo Free State (now the Democratic Republic of Congo) likely explains his poor standing among historians today. Leopold II presided over some of the worst abuses that any colonizer had over any colonized people. Most notably, he forced the Congolese people to collect rubber in notoriously poor conditions with incredibly high quotas. The hard labor alone accounted for the death of 10,000,000 Congolese, but what is particularly jaw-dropping was that any Congolese person who did not make the quota had his hand cut off with a machete. The situation was so reprehensible that it received international outcry in Europe at the time, which was a quite an accomplishment, since at this time when Africans were generally considered to be lesser humans by Europeans.
