The Great Fire of Rome, 64 AD
from Same Day, Different Century
On July 18, 64 AD, fire broke out in the shops at the end of the Circus Maximus and began consuming the largest city in the Roman Empire. It burned for six days. When it was finally stopped, only four of Rome’s fourteen districts remained intact. The emperor Nero was thirty-five miles away when it started, but a rumor took hold that he had ordered it, and what he did next only deepened the suspicion.Send me a text!Support the show
