Notorious emperor (4)

I believe the answer is:

nero

'notorious 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 "Emperor, 'burnt' Rome" , "Imperial Roman fiddler" , "Cruel Roman emperor" , "Ruler" , "Ancient Roman emperor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Mirror, The Star Tribune and the King Feature Syndicate.
