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.

In English, SPQR is usually translated to mean "The Senate and the Roman people" However, literally it would be "the senate and the citizen people of Rome". But there is controversy over that letter Q. The letter Q could stand for quirites which means Roman Citizen, or it could stand for que which is a suffix meaning and. So until some old Roman is resurrected and tells us exactly what SPQR means, "The Senate and the Roman People" will have to do.
