Fiddling
While Rome Burns
Posted by Kyle
on February 09, 2003 This website, which I have just stumbled
onto, is pretty interesting. I have noticed one error though. I quote: Supposedly
done by Emperor Nero when Rome was being destroyed - there's no real evidence
for this though. That is the reason for where the saying came about. But the error
though is the evidence. There is concrete evidence that there is no way he could
have possibly fiddled while Rome burned: the fiddle was not invented until the
dark ages/ Renaissance (probably spelled wrong). How could Fiddle 1500 years or
so before the fiddle was invented?
