Nero's Cross, also known as the Cross of Nero, is a symbol associated with the Roman Emperor Nero, often linked to his persecution of Christians in the first century AD. It represents the idea of martyrdom and suffering endured by early Christians during his reign, particularly due to the infamous Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD, which Nero allegedly blamed on Christians. The cross itself is sometimes depicted in a specific form that combines elements of the traditional Christian cross with Roman iconography, reflecting the complexities of early Christian symbolism in the face of persecution.

Nero's brutal treatment of Christians, including the infamous persecution following the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD, further solidified his negative reputation among early followers of Christ.
