The Great Fire of Rome

What happened in the Great Fire of 64 A.D. , what Nero did, and why that was stupid as well as vicious and immoral.

Funny how those accounts you've relayed are all from anti emperor senate career politicians. There are written accounts of Nero's reign where he was hailed as adored by the people and a great emperor. Including avid from Arabic traders. There is an easy way to tell if the history being taught is truthful or not. Look for the architecture. If what the Roman leaders had to say about Nero was in fact true, they wouldn't have had to go on a building campaign to immortalize their accounts. For example, if it were true that terrorists took out the twin towers they wouldn't have built a monument there. Hence, no monuments built for the storming of the vaporizing in 1954 when five senators were killed. No monuments erected to memorialize the bombing of the capital in the 1970s by the 9 founding female members of the weathermen. No memorial building to the Oklahoma Federal building. No memorials for Caligula. Or the oh so terrible Herod or Pontius Pilate. When the truth is being told one doesn't need a monument to convince the public generation past living memory. It's only needed to reinforce a lie.

Not, your anti American rhetoric didn't age too well did it. Oh, and btw, the "g" is silent in gnostic.
