It is a comment made about the emperor Nero during the great fire of Rome. Nero, in his frustration at not being able to have the fire stopped, did trivial and frivolous things while waiting for the gloomy reports. A historian used the term "fiddled while Rome burnt", not in the sense that Nero played the violin (which was unknown at the time), but in the sense that he did meaningless things while waiting--he fiddled around. It is reported that he strummed his lyre and composed a poem about the burning of Troy for want of anything practical to do.
