Like Nero? Message 24326222 "Nero sent out men to set fire to the city. Nero sang and played his lyre from a private stage..." It is uncertain who or what actually caused the fire— whether accident or arson. According to Tacitus, some in the population held Nero responsible.[18] To diffuse blame, Nero targeted the Christians.[18] Christians confessed to the crime, but it is unknown if these were false confessions induced by torture.[18] Also, the passage is unclear what the Christians confessed to— whether arson or being Christians. Suetonius and Cassius Dio favor Nero as the arsonist with an insane desire to destroy the city as his motive.
