Great Fire of Rome

The Great Fire of Rome, claimed by a projection of the Second Doctor within the T'keyn Nexus to be a fixed point in time, (COMIC: Dead Man's Hand) was a fire in Rome in July of the year 64 AD. The fire was started on the orders of Emperor Nero as the Senate had denied him the right to build a new Rome whilst the current one still stood. Nero thought of the idea when the First Doctor accidentally set fire to a map of the new plan for Rome. (TV: "Inferno")

In Roma I, the "Fourth Great Fire" was one of the most momentous days in the history of the Roman Empire. (PROSE: Warlords of Utopia)
