It was a fiddle, and that's probably bullshit. Nero was actually miles away from Rome when he got the news, and he hurried to Rome and even helped put out the fire, iirc. I'm not sure about the second part, but I do know he wasn't anywhere near Rome and that it was mostly vicious gossip. He DID build a huge palace over the burnt part and said "At last I can begin to live like a human being', which was in extremely poor taste, but the whole "Nero set fire to Rome" was probably just gossip. Think the ancient version of the Birther thing.
