Due to the datamine it's an actual possibility we'll see a version of Nero as a Whore of Babylon type character, but the whole bit about using Imperial Privelage to prevent being a Rider is speculatory hogwash. In the Fate materials it's said that while Nero is extremely adept at charioteering with skill that "rivals the Sun God Sol", she dislikes them in general. This stems back to Nero's actual history where he competed in a chariot race during the Olympics, willfully bending the rules of the meet in order to allow himself to ride personally with a 10-horse advantage over his competitor's 4-horse chariot restrictions (which infuriated the judges but what can you do?). Though known to be skilled charioteer and an otherwise avid racer, he was actually thrown from his chariot in the middle of the Olympic race and nearly died because of it, causing a bit of a trauma for him.

As a fun aside it can also be noted that Nero was still declared the winner of that race despite not finishing it, thanks to his real-life "Imperial Privelage".
