Infamous emperor (4)

I believe the answer is:

nero

'infamous emperor' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for nero that I've seen before include "Roman Emperor, 54-68 AD" , "Roman emperor infamous for his cruelty" , "Emperor, 'burnt' Rome" , "Roman 9" , "He's reputed to have fiddled while Rome burned" .)

I've seen this clue in the Wall Street Journal, the King Feature Syndicate, the Family Time, the Newsday.com, the Newsday, the New York Times, The Star Tribune, The Sun and the USA Today.
