Did Nero Really Fiddle When Rome Burned?

Vindex, governor of the Gaulish territory Gallia Lugdunensis, rebelled. He was supported by Galba, the governor of Hispania Tarraconensis. Rome's discontented civil and military authorities chose Galba as emperor. Nero committed suicide when he learned that he had been tried in absentia and condemned to death as a public enemy.
