AnswerThe second-century Roman historian, Tacitus, was not a Christian. His strongly held republican views led him to take a harsh and generally biased view of the Roman emperors who had preced him. He was often a critic of Nero, although he does say of Nero that "his pledges were not dishonoured, and many [unpopular] decisions were made by the Senate itself". It was Tacitus who claimed that Nero punished the Christians of Rome unfairly for the Great Fire of Rome.
