It is not proven, but the Emperor Nero wanted to build his new palace on the site of two old Roman temples, and to destroy them would have made him even more unpopular than he already was. It is therefore speculated that his agents set the fire, and the Christians who were an unpopular new cult in Rome made a convenient scapegoat for the arson.
