Uhm, why is it that the Nero Burning Rom icon shows a burning coliseum? ? ? At least it seems a burning coliseum to me... Ok, I understand the "burning" part, but what about the coliseum?? Or is it something else? :rolleyes:

Didn't you ever hear about Emperor Nero playing the fiddle while Rome burned?

Thank PBS. :D
If you notice, the name of the program is Nero Burning Rom. Just add an "e" to Rom and you get "Nero Burning Rome". Which is pretty much where this whole story comes from.

Or you could add and "H" and get Nero Burning Rohm. You know, just in case you're into National Socialism or whatever.
