Скачать или смотреть Rome’s Living Doll The Tragic Fate of Sporus, Nero’s Forgotten Consort

In the shadows of imperial Rome, power could reshape not only politics—but people.

This cinematic investigation by History Unburied tells one of the darkest and most disturbing stories in ancient history: the transformation of a Roman boy named Sporus into the empress of the most feared ruler in the Western world—Emperor Nero.

In 67 AD, the streets of Rome buzzed with whispers. Nero, clad in imperial finery, paraded a figure at his side—regal, adorned, eerily familiar. That figure was not a woman, but a boy: Sporus. And what Nero did to him became a symbol of the empire’s descent into madness.

This is not a story of royalty. This is a story of identity erased.
