How do we know when Nero was born?
score:11
Accepted answer
The best way it could be determined is based on the writings of Tacitus and Suetonius.
In Tacitus annals, he provides info about the birth of Nero, and so does Suetonius, in his writing The Lives of the Caesars he says
Nero was born at Antium nine months after the death of Tiberius, on the eighteenth day before the Kalends of January, just as the sun rose.
