Excerpt: Though Nero blamed the Christians quickly enough, responsiblity for the blaze was a matter of some controversy for later historians. Tacitus, though he mentions the rumours of Nero’s involvement, graciously maintains that the origins of the fire were uncertain. However, none of the authorities who followed him were so kind. Virtually all of them blamed Nero himself for starting the fires, justifying their accusations with evidence of his insatiable lust for death and chaos and his search for an excuse to execute the Christians he saw as a threat to his own divinity as Caesar. However, in spite of his apparent capacity and motive for the act, there remains, to this day, no physical proof of his guilt.
