He mentions that some authors considered the fire an accident and others blamed Nero. He also reports the rumour that &quot;the emperor appeared on a private stage and sang of the destruction of Troy, comparing present misfortunes with the calamities of antiquity&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tacitus <i>Annals </i>Book 15, 38-39[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
