‘ROCK’ N ‘RULE’

In 64 AD, while Nero was Emperor, a fire broke out in Rome. As historians wrote,During the night of July 18, 64 AD, fire broke out in the merchant area of the city of Rome. The flames quickly spread through the dry, wooden structures of the Imperial City. Soon the fire took on a life of its own consuming all in its path for six days and seven nights. When the conflagration finally ran its course it left seventy percent of the city in smoldering ruins.
The man so often blamed for the great fire was Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, commonly known simply as Nero. He ruled Rome from 54 -68 CE
What followed the burning of Rome would be one of the darkest chapters of Roman history, ending the line of conquering Caesars and beginning the road to Rome’s fall as a world power.

After the fire, Nero ransacked his own provinces to finance the reconstruction of Rome. He used a vast area between the Palatine and the Equiline hills, which had been utterly destroyed by the fire to build his 'Golden Palace'.

While the fire destroyed the city of Rome, the emperor Nero played his violin, revealing his total lack of concern for his people and his empire.

It is said that the Worlds best CD burning Software NERO derives its name from the Roman emperor Nero who was playing the violin when the whole rome was burning..
