Who is Nero from The Jewish War and what is their importance?

Nero was the name of the Roman Emperor also called Caesar from 54 through 68. Gaius ruled in 37 and was murdered four years later and replaced by Claudius in 41 who reigned thirteen years. Nero replaced him in 54 and reigned when war broke out in his twelfth year. Nero appointed Festus procurator and he eliminated many bandits in the country. Albinus followed and allowed widespread robbery, looting and corruption. Hostility grew until Nero's anxiety for events in Judea caused him to send Vespasian to command the armies. Vespasian heard Nero met a violent end in his thirteenth year and postponed his attack on Jerusalem. A new Emperor Galba was replaced by Otho in seven months who was also killed and Vitellius took power. Vespasian's soldiers declared him the emperor and he felt divine providence helped him seize the reins of power back in Rome.
