Great Fire of Rome [Fire]

[Jim Eshelman]

Remember the story of Nero fiddling while Rome burned? That was the Great Fire of Rome. It began on the windy night overlapping July 18-19, 64 AD, and lasted six days. Besides the widespread destruction, one of its immediate effects was that Emperor Nero blamed Christians for starting the fire, starting the Roman Empire's first pointed persecution of the Christian cult.

Using midnight as a reasonable estimate.... the charts are pretty boring.

NOTE 4/28/2023: I'm redoing this in TMSA, which has better ingress calculation accuracy for distant eras. Among other things (mostly orb differences), I'd missed the Moon-Saturn aspect in the Capsolar! The Cansolar angularities all shifted, changing from an exact Jupiter angularity to Saturn dominant. The CapQ becomes... quite interesting if not black-and-white, while the mixed transits to Cansolar angles essentially copy it! The Bridge is strong. I think the specific Mars-Jupiter layered influence is an indication of the religious war element.

I just recalculated these using TMSA, which is much more accurate on ingresses for distant periods. This transforms the charts entirely!
