After the success of the epic porn historical caligula 1979 film there have been many attempts to present more versions more porn versions of caligula like the 1981 film caligula and messalina and other attempts like caligula the untold story and films like caligulas' spawn and the slaves of caligula. All those films contained either soft or even hard core porn scenes while they tried to preserve a few historical events.

Joe d'amato tried to do the same in this film only he placed nero in caligulas' place and the result is exactly what u expect to see.

If u are in to those historical roman sexploitation films then this is for you.

Plenty of soft porn scenes and bits of history wraps up the package.

All in all an average film which gained by now the cult status and it's also hard to find as it's out of print and u can find a bootleg dvd only in varius sites which sell the dvd at internet.

All in all the caligula 1979 epic remains the best effort of this genre followed by caligula and messalina the 1981 film as the second best. After those films comes caligula the untold story and then is this nero and poppea 1982 film while the rest of the caligula soft porn films ((caligulas' spawn and the slaves of caligula)) are boring as hell and not really worth your time.

Caesar Neron indulges himself in any known debauchery including incest with his mother when his Empire slowly declines.Bruno Mattei's "Nerone e Poppea" isn't as outrageous as Joe D'Amato's "Caligula-The Untold Story",but still offers some delicious sleaze.There's plenty of nudity and some nicely filmed lesbian sequences to keep fans of Italian sleaze entertained.Rudy Adams is wonderfully over-the-top as a crazy Neron and Patricia Derek is one of the sexiest women ever!There's even a castration scene and some rather nasty torture sequences.The film is long out of print,but you might run into it in a very old video store.A must-see for fans of sleaze!
