1970's bodice-ripper made memorable with hilarious history

The plot is pretty typical of a 1970's romance, and has something in common with "The Last days of Pompeii." There's orgies, Vesuvius exploding, and lots of lecherous men drooling over our fair heroine, an incredibly unlucky girl named Lysandra who must get raped at least three times in the course of the story. But unlike "The Last Days" there's some really funny bits in it. I remember one hilariously funny cameo with the Emperor Nero, who queens it up better with his over-the-top histrionics better than Nathan Lane from "The Birdcage." I imagine the book should be read for that alone...
