Years ago I watched a documentary on television that was about Nero and what supposedly did and did not happen leading up to him fiddling while Rome burned. One tidbit of Nero’s history focused on him thinking he was a very good violinist (fiddler). The documentary pointed out how the emperor of the Roman Empire would go to a local amphitheater and audition for plays being performed. I believe he may have pretended to be “just a musician,” so only his talent would be judged, but I may be wrong.
