Infamous Roman emperor (4)

I believe the answer is:

nero

'infamous roman 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 "Matricidal emperor" , "Wicked fiddler" , "Tyrannical Roman emperor" , "Emperor, 'burnt' Rome" , "Roman tyrant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The Mirror, the Universal and the Newsday.
