No, it started in one of the slum areas of Rome and because of the construction materials of the time it spread very fast. Some legends blame Nero, but I think he just took advantage of the results of the fire to use the land for his grand palace and to build more temples. Today when you visit Rome there are still burned spots in the marble that is left to see how hot the fire was. It was an awful event for Rome.
