Roman Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Nero is best remembered by the rumour that he played the lyre and sang during the Great Fire of Rome in 64, and hence "fiddled while Rome burned". |
| | In effect, Nero held Domitian and Quintus Petillius Cerialis the governor of Ostia, who were respectively the younger son and the brother-in-law of Vespasian. |
| | The forced suicide of emperor Nero, in 68, was followed by a brief period of civil war (the first Roman civil war since Antony's death in 30 BC) known as the year of the four emperors. |
