Great Fire of Rome witness (4)

I believe the answer is:

nero

(Other definitions for nero that I've seen before include "Famous fiddler" , "Emperor said to have fiddled as Rome burned" , "Imperial Roman fiddler" , "Roman 9" , "Notorious Roman emperor, d. AD 68" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
