This gives Nero the idea to burn down part of the old city so he can convince the Senate to let him build the new one.
I've seen that episode! I wasn't too impressed when the Doctor realises that he's started the fire of Rome...and starts laughing.

Actually...I saw Spartacus before The Life of Brian.

Both awesome movies.
