THE GREAT FIRE of Rome broke out on July 19, 64 A.D., at the north wall of the Circus Maximus, 417 years, 417 months, and 417 days after the entry of the Gauls into Rome in the early IV century B.C. (Tacitus Annales 15. 38-41). Total destruction overtook the III Augustan Region (Subura), X (Palatina) and XI (Circus Maximus). Only four regions were left untouched: XIV (Transtiberim), I (Porta Capena), V (Esquilina), and VI (Quirinal). The fire is said to have raged for nine days.
