1 answer

After the Great Fire of Rome in 64 CE, Emperor Nero implemented a new policy to rebuild the city. He ordered the construction of wider streets, the use of non-combustible building materials like stone and brick, and the creation of open spaces to prevent the rapid spread of fires. This policy aimed to rebuild Rome in a more organized and safer manner. Additionally, Nero established a new force of firefighters, called the "vigiles," who were tasked with preventing and extinguishing fires in the city.
