What Roman emperor burned down Rome?
It was alleged that the fire of 64 AD was caused by emperor Nero wanted to burn down Rome to make room to build a massive palace by writers who were hostile to him. There is not any actual proof that he did this. Fires in Rome were very common as it was an overcrowded city and timber was used to build houses, which were packed in alleys. There were other large fired in 69 and 80 AD. Tacitus, a historian who lived during this period and the only one who gave details of the fire, did not suggest that Nero was an arsonist. He also said that Nero made great efforts to help the people affected by the fire. He spent days searching for survivors without bodyguards, opened his palaces to host the homeless and bought food supplies with his money. He then made an urban plan with houses built with brick, on wider roads and faced by porticoes. Another contemporary historian mentions the fire only in passing and three other contemporary writers did not mention it in their surviving work. Suetonius, who was not even born at the time of the fire, and Cassius Dio, who lived about 100 years after the episode, alleged that Nero set Rome alight. According to one legend Nero played the fiddle during the fire. However, the fiddle did not exist in Nero's time. Nero was popular with the poor, but hated by the rich. There are some estimates that the fires burned down between 60-70% of old wooden Roman structures.

Who is Nero in the fire of Rome?
Nero was the fifth Roman emperor. He ruled from to 68. In 64 , most of Rome was destroyed by what historians call the Great Fire of Rome. There were allegations that Nero set fire to Rome, but these are most likely to be untrue. It was alleged that he did this to create room to build the Golden House (Domus Aurea), an enormous imperial palace which was like a mini city with many buildings, gardens and a lake. However, these allegations came from writers who were not around at the time of the fire. They also wrote that Nero sang a song in a stage costume during the fire (Nero was an eccentric and fancied himself as an actor and gave stage performances) and a popular legend had him playing the fiddle during the fire. However, one writer who was around at the time did not even mention the fire and another (Tacitus) said that Nero elsewhere at the time of the fire and returned to Rome to organise and fund a relief effort and that he searched for people caught in the debris for days without bodyguards. He arranged for food supplies and gave shelter to the homeless in his palaces. Moreover, the fiddle did not exist in Rome at that time. Nero's eccentricity and extravagance made to create the later allegations. Nero was popular anomg the lower classes, but hated by the aristocracy. Most Roman writes were aristocrats and this could have been a reason for the later writers to denigrate him. One writer, Suetonius also made lurid allegations about him. He made lurid allegation about other emperors as well. His writing was similar to that of today's tabloids and he liked romours and gossips
Who burned down much of rome?
If you are referring to the great fire in Nero's reign, no one actually burnt the city. The fire started by accident in one of the shops that lined the Circus Maximus. It was a hot dry summer and the winds caused the fire to spread out of control. Poor old Nero got blamed for it because it was a known fact that he wanted to rebuild the slums of the city. The Christians , who were a disliked religious group due to their clannishness and aggressiveness, were hindering the firefighters and some ancient sources say that they even were seen carrying torches to spread the fire. This was due to the Christian belief at the time that Rome would be destroyed by fire before the Second Coming of Christ, which they thought was to happen immediately. So we have the blame game. Nero (who wasn't even in the city at the time) wanted cleared space for his building projects and the Christians who thought they were helping their God. So an accidental fire has become a two thousand year old controversy.
