Anyone have figures for how many major European settlement fires there were in total for that two year period?
And. . .I'll look up the reference, but I'm pretty sure Nero was suspected of starting fires himself - his agents would walk ahead of the flames making cash offers for the land the property was on. Very cheap way of aquiring valuable real estate on the cheap.
But as I say, I'll look that one up and get back to you.
