Burning+of+Rome

=Burning the city of Rome and the persecution of Christians under Nero= =A.D. 64= The Roman Emperor Nero began the persecutins against the Christian church. Having set the city ablaze, he searched fora group on which to blame the tragedy. His wicked mind contrived to blame the Christians. Nero had them burned in wax clothing to light his pathway, tied to animal skins and attacked by dogs, and tortured in the cruelest ways imaginable. Still Christianity spread, however, as the light of their testemony lived on longer than the flames of the fires and the snarls of the beasts who destroyed their earthly lives.
