About this listen
Did Nero really fiddle while Rome burned? Or is that the wrong question entirely? In this episode, we separate legend from history as we explore the Great Fire of Rome and the brutal aftermath for early Christians. We’ll look at how rumors formed, why Christians were so easy to demonize, and what actually happened to believers in Nero’s circus gardens. This is a story about narrative control, public fear, and how Christianity survived its first major encounter with state-sponsored violence.
