EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the devastating aftermath of the Great Fire of Rome, which ravaged the ancient city for an unprecedented nine days in the summer of 64 AD. The fire, one of the most significant events in Roman history, reportedly began in the night and quickly spread, engulfing large parts of the city. While Nero, the Roman Emperor at the time, was not physically present in Rome during the fire, rumors later emerged that he had instigated the blaze and even entertained himself by playing the cithara, a type of ancient lyre, as the city burned. The historical accuracy of these accusations remains a subject of debate among scholars, but their impact on Nero's legacy was profound. The image of Nero fiddling while Rome burned became a powerful symbol of a ruler who was indifferent to the suffering of his people. The fire led to widespread destruction, with many of Rome's iconic structures, including the Temple of Vesta and the Basilica of Neptune, reduced to ashes. The aftermath of the fire saw a period of rebuilding and renewal under Nero's rule, with the city eventually emerging stronger and more grandiose than before. This print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a haunting glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the mighty Roman Empire was brought to its knees by an uncontrollable inferno.
