The Burning of Rome: Or A Story of the Days of Nero is a historical novel written by Alfred John Church and first published in 1891. The story is set during the rule of the infamous Roman Emperor Nero and revolves around the burning of Rome in 64 AD. The novel follows the lives of two young Romans, Marcus and Lucius, who find themselves caught up in the chaos and destruction caused by the fire. As they struggle to survive and make sense of the events unfolding around them, they encounter a cast of characters that includes Nero himself, his scheming advisors, and the brave soldiers and citizens who work to put out the flames and rebuild their city. Through their eyes, readers are given a vivid and detailed picture of life in ancient Rome, from the opulence of the imperial court to the poverty and squalor of the city’s slums. The Burning of Rome is a thrilling and engaging historical novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into one of the most tumultuous periods in Roman history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
