The Great Fire of Rome (Latin: incendium magnum Romae) began on the evening of 18-19 July 64 AD. The fire started in the merchant shops around Rome's chariot stadium, Circus Maximus. After six days, the fire was brought under control, but before the damage could be assessed, the fire reignited and burned for another three days.
