Fiddles were not invented then.

1.Nero fiddle,while Rome burned.

See it doesn't make sense without the comma.

im so confused at the last questions that were asked now im even more confused

Well, not sure if you meant to add this, but you added a question mark to the STATEMENT. If it were a statement, you would have to add either a period or an exclamation point.

Oh, and Stewie, "while" is a conjunction, so no comma is needed. Just like if I said "I like to run and jump." I would not put a comma before and.

"While" makes this sentence a compound sentence having two subjects and two verbs: "Nero Fiddled" and "Rome Burned".

You didn't include the close quotation mark to consider it a statement. :)

i think aaron is right

i think, i want some animal crackers.

Nero was in Antium through much of the disaster. Yet many believed that he had been responsible, so that he could perform his own work comparing the current fate of Rome to the downfall of Troy. All his efforts to assist the stricken city could not remove the suspicion that "the emperor had fiddled while Rome burned." He lost favor.

So Nero and Tigellinus needed to blame someone with the disaster. It so happened there was such a group ready at hand, Christians, who had made themselves unpopular because of their refusal to worship the emperor, their way of life, and their secret meetings. Further, at this time two of their most significant "teachers" were in Rome, Peter and Paul. They were ideal scapegoats, individuals whom most Romans loathed, and who had continually sung of the forthcoming end of the world.

Their destruction was planned with the utmost precision and cruelty, for the entertainment of the populace. The venue was Nero's circus near the Mons Vaticanus. Christians were exposed to wild animals and were set ablaze, smeared with pitch, to illuminate the night. The executions were so grisly that even the populace displayed sympathy for the victims. Separately, Peter was crucified upside down on the Vatican hill and Paul was beheaded along the Via Ostiensis. But Nero's attempt, and hope, to shift all suspicion of arson to others failed. His popularity even among the lower classes was irrevocably impaired.
