Nero
Or at least Nero gets the blame for setting the fire in popular mythology. However, there is no proof that he started it and just as much blame can be thrown on the Christians who hindered the firefighters and aided its spread. It is generally believed that the fire started by pure accident in the hot, dry, Italian summer.
