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.
