64

In 64, the First Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Vicki took an extended holiday near Rome. During their time in the area, Ian and Barbara were both sold into slavery, while the Doctor and Vicki joined the court of Nero. Whilst in Rome in July, the Doctor inadvertently inspired Nero to set the fire that destroyed Rome. (ST: Romans Cutaway; DW: The Romans) At around the same time, on a totally separate journey, the foursome visited Byzantium and got a personal view of the struggle between Rome and early Christendom.
