 BBC - History - Nero (AD 37 - 68; Roman emperor AD 54 - 68)
Nero (Tiberius Claudius Nero Caesar) was the fifth Roman emperor, in succession to his stepfather Claudius I. His weakness of character and his incompetence resulted in the first civil war for a century, and the end of the Julio-Claudian dynasty (the dynasty founded by Augustus).
Nero was born Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus, and was, through his mother Agrippina the Younger, the only surviving direct male descendant of Augustus.
Nero was accused, implausibly, of having started the fire, and also, less implausibly, of having 'fiddled while Rome burned' by using the burning city as a backdrop for an impromptu performance of his 'Sack of Troy'.

 Tiberius
Tiberius' failures, however seem to have been his inability to define his own role within the Principate and the roles of those around him, including the Senate.
Still, Tiberius left evidence of his own desire to be rid of the mantle of authority, being the only emperor to refuse the title 'Pater Patriae' (father of the country).
Tiberius' would be blasted by later Roman historians, all of whom would have ties to the Senatorial elite, and therefore, despite a generally solid rule (especially in terms of provincial administration), his legacy was permanently stained.
