That’s absolutely no solid evidence that Nero “organized” the Great Fire of Rome! Source, source.
My personal theory is that, like George W. Bush and 9/11, Nero didn’t actually plan the disaster, but immediately seized on this to advance his own murderous agenda.
Nero was a pretty awful person, but continuing to spread unproven rumors from two thousand years ago is not accurate.
