Emperor from 54 to 68 (4)

I believe the answer is:

nero

(Other definitions for nero that I've seen before include "Roman emperor, d. AD68" , "Roman arsonist and fiddler" , "Roman emperor on the fiddle?" , "Fiddling Roman emperor" , "Emperor said to have fiddled as Rome burned" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
