Answer:

Nero

Step-by-step explanation:

Nero was the last Roman Emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. He is usually described as an extravagant emperor with a love of tyranny, corruption and violence. He is said to have ordered the murder of his mother, and instigated the Great Fire of Rome to clear space for his palatial complex. He is also known for having blamed Christians for the fire and burned them alive. However, it is unclear to what extent these anecdotes reflect reality.
