Going off of Professor Malamud's post about Performance anxiety and Nero, I started doing some more research on influences for Petronius. I came across this website that does a really good comparison between Nero and Trimalchio. I know it is a bit long but it has specific textual references and compares the character of Trimalchio to Nero quite well. I just thought it was interesting.
