The Great Fire of Rome lasted for six days, destroying much of the city and leaving thousands homeless. After the flames were extinguished, rumors circulated that Nero himself had ordered the fire to clear space for his grand new palace, the Domus Aurea. In the aftermath, to deflect blame, Nero scapegoated the Christians, leading to widespread persecution. This tragic episode not only marked a significant turning point in Roman history but also set the stage for a legacy of hauntings and dark tales that linger in the shadows of the Eternal City.</p>
