If Nero wasn't fiddling as Rome burned, maybe he was swinging a club?

A golf club or a Bic lighter.
The analogy is otherwise apt: Nero wanted to expand his palace but the homes of some solid citizens occupied the space he wanted.
They somehow burned down so he appropriated the land and built over them.
