The Antichrist (?)
Nero Claudius Cæsar Augustus Germanicus (December 15, 37 A.D. – June 9, 68 A.D.).
Ordered a genocidal persecution of Christians in Rome that led to St. Peter being crucified upside down and St. Paul's beheading.

What makes you think it talks about Nero?
Sure, he was a bad guy, but I think the verse is speaking of much later in the history of the earth...and perhaps not a "person" but an idea or nation.
ps: off-topic
D-day anniversary
Note the (?).
Nero was already dead by decades when John is thought to have written Revelations, but those who believe that 666 was code for Nero (like Irenaius) thought he was referring to that anti-christian spirit that Nero had.
Nero was brutal. He used Christians as backyard floodlights (i.e. human torches).
He killed Peter & Paul.
He called himself a god, so I could understand why John would be reminded of him and reference him when envisioning the future antichrist.
ah yes...didn't notice the "(?)".
I'll elaborate in a post.
