In A.D. 68, on the Ninth of June, Roman emperor Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus quoted the Aeneid (by Publius Vergilius Maro, known as Virgil), and then committed suicide (with the help of his secretary, Epaphroditus). With this act, Nero ended the Julio-Claudian dynasty and started the civil war known as the Year of the Four Emperors, which concluded under the rule of Vespasian.
