Context | Nero repeats the 'Neronian contests' in the city of Rome |
Comments | Word also appears in Plin. Ep. IV.xxii.3 (catagorised as not likely a c-s), but S. does seem to be playing up the 'Greekness' of Nero's contests here/could have used certamina (as he does for example at the end of Ner.22.3) |
