When nobody was replying, and all the doors had been closed, he returned to his own bedroom. Since all the slaves had fled and the little box of poison had been removed , at once he summoned a gladiator to kill him. But he could not be found. “I have neither friend nor enemy,” he said. He rushed forward as if about to throw himself into the Tiber. But after his freedman Phaon offered his villa near the city, with bare feet and dressed in a tunic he put on a cloak of faded colour and set out. With his head hidden so he might not be recognised , he mounted a horse with four companions. When they arrived at Phaon’s villa , Nero entered, after the horses had been sent away. Then he ordered a tomb to be built in front of him, weeping and repeating again and again, “What an artist I die as.” Meanwhile, he was informed that he had been judged an enemy by the senate and would be punished in the ancestral custom. Already horsemen were approaching to capture him alive. After he had heard them, terrified, he thrust a sword into his throat, with a slave helping him. The emperor, about to die and semi-conscious, exclaimed to the centurion as he was bursting in, “Too late.”
