[quote Wiki] It was said by Suetonius and Cassius Dio that Nero sang the "Sack of Ilium" in stage costume while the city burned. However, Tacitus' account has Nero in Antium at the time of the fire. Tacitus said that Nero playing his lyre and singing while the city burned was only rumor. Popular legend remembers Nero fiddling-- that is, playing the fiddle-- while Rome burned, but this is an anachronism as the instrument had not yet been invented, and would not be for over 1,000 years. |
