Do you all believe that Rome was set on fire by radical christian extremists the way the official sources had us believe, or do you believe the conspiracy theory that it was an inside job exectuted by Nero or on order of Nero, to frame the growing christian community with the crime ?

Evil ? You cant run an empire on good will alone. However Iam not comparing the moral base of the Roman empire which believed in slavery to democratic countries like the US who seek to make basic right and freedom avaiabel world wide as opposed to systems like in cuba which keeps their residents captive inside their own country.

Nero, who was a noted cruel ruler of the Roman Empire, blamed the Christians. It was not the Christians who started the fire.
I'm not sure if you can find a credible credentialed historian that would say otherwise. But I think that the history has shown that Nero was a very evil man.

Rome Hotelbye nowadays is among the main tourist places of the entire world, due to the incalculable immensity of their archaeological and artwork secrets, along with for the attraction of its distinctive traditions, the beauty of its breathtaking views, and the majesty of their amazing parks. One of many points should see en Rome is Campo de'Fiori. Campo de'Fiori is a square square south of Piazza Navona applied as a market place through the day, and celebration key for university students and tourists at night. The title means “area of flowers” and was initially given through the Middle Ages when the region was really a meadow. Another place worth visit is The Roman Forum. Situated in the tiny area between the Palatine and Capitoline Hills, The Roman Forum was for ages the teeming center of old Rome and nowadays is just a vast ruin of architectural pieces

Almost any credible historian will tell you that Nero used the Christians as scapegoats. Any historian who tells you otherwise is just trying to get his name known by throwing out a theory that was discared long ago.

Just goes to prove that conspiracy theories work in every age.
Like most of the others, the simplest answer is generally the truth.

I think someone just knocked over a lamp. The rest was just opportunism.
