So Nero wasn't a good emperor, but one story I like is that he made his favorite horse a senator. Our Nero's name, when he showed up at the shelter, was actually "Negro" which is half horrifying and half hilarious. Apparently he lived with a Hispanic family that was really not treating him well, but at least it makes the name slightly less offensive. He knows his name, though, so Freba and Tammy changed it to Nero when he got there, so Nero it is.
