Nero
(gcide) | Nero \Ne"ro\ (n[=e]"r[-o]), prop. n.
A Roman emperor notorious for debauchery and barbarous
cruelty; hence, any profligate and cruel ruler or merciless
tyrant. -- Ne*ro"ni*an (n[-e]*r[=o]"n[i^]*an), a.
[1913 Webster] Nero (originally Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus,
later Nero Claudius Caesar Drusus Germanicus). Born at
Antium, Italy, Dec. 15, 37 a. d.: committed suicide near
Rome, June 9, 68. Roman emperor 54-68, son of Domitius
Ahenobarbus and Agrippina (daughter of Germanicus).
He was adopted by his stepfather, the emperor Claudius, in
50, and in 53 married Octavia, the daughter of Claudius by
Messalina. In 54 Claudius was poisoned by Agrippina, who
caused her son to be proclaimed to the exclusion of
Britannicus, the son of Claudius. His former tutors, the
philosopher Seneca and Burrus, commander of the pretorian
guards, were placed at the head of the government, and the
early years of his reign were marked, on the whole, by
clemency and justice. He caused his rival Britannicus to be
removed by poison in 55. In 59 he procured the assassination
of his mother, of whose control he had become impatient.
Burrus died in 62, whereupon Seneca retired from public life.
Freed from the restraint of his former advisers, he gave free
rein to a naturally tyrannical and cruel disposition. He
divorced Octavia in order to marry Poppaea, and shortly
afterward put Octavia to death (62). Poppaea ultimately died
from the effects of a kick administered by her brutal
husband. Having been accused of kindling the fire which in 64
destroyed a large part of Rome, he sought to divert attention
from himself by ordering a persecution of the Christians,
whom he accused of having caused the Conflagration. He put
Seneca to death in 65, and 66-68 visited Greece, where he
competed for the prizes as a musician and charioteer in the
religious festivals. He was overthrown by a revolt under
Galba, and stabbed himself to death with the assistance of
his secretary.
But the imperial Reign of Terror was limited to a
comparatively small number of families in Rome. The provinces
ware undoubtedly better governed than in the later days of
the Republic, and even in Rome itself the common people
strewed flowers on the grave of Nero.

atmosphere, and hence for judging of the probable changes of
weather, or for ascertaining the height of any ascent.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The barometer was invented by Torricelli at Florence
about 1643. It is made in its simplest form by filling
a graduated glass tube about 34 inches long with
mercury and inverting it in a cup containing mercury.
The column of mercury in the tube descends until
balanced by the weight of the atmosphere, and its rise
or fall under varying conditions is a measure of the
change in the atmospheric pressure. At the sea level
its ordinary height is about 30 inches (760
millimeters). See Sympiesometer. --Nichol.

pepper. Pepper is used in medicine as a carminative
stimulant.

about 25-50 times hotter than the jalapeno according to a
scale developed by Wilbur Scoville in 1912. See also

Panerogamia
(gcide) | Spermatophyta \Sper`ma*toph"y*ta\, n. pl. [NL.; spermato- + Gr.
? plant.] (Bot.)
A phylum embracing the highest plants, or those that produce
seeds; the seed plants, or flowering plants. They form the
most numerous group, including over 120,000 species. In
general, the group is characterized by the marked development
of the sporophyte, with great differentiation of its parts
(root, stem, leaves, flowers, etc.); by the extreme reduction
of the gametophyte; and by the development of seeds. All the
Spermatophyta are heterosporous; fertilization of the egg
cell is either through a
pollen tube emitted by the microspore or (in a few
gymnosperms) by spermatozoids.
Note: The phrase "flowering plants" is less distinctive than
"seed plants," since the conifers, grasses, sedges,
oaks, etc., do not produce flowers in the popular
sense. For this reason the terms Anthrophyta,
Phaenogamia, and Panerogamia have been superseded
as names of the phylum by Spermatophyta.
