"But the characteristic imprint that Nero's government left in the history of public education cannot be found in primary schools or in those of rhetoric or philosophy. The originality of his government consisted instead in the introduction of a new form of physical education in the general plan of Roman education and life, the decisive triumph of the cult of musical education: two facts, which reacted against traditional tendencies, underwent lively discussions and contrasts, and were all personal work of the prince. (chap. 1, pp. 61-62)"
