56 Nero was currently emperor of Rome this is prior to the fire that burnt most of Rome in A.D. 64. Nero was also a madman who hated Christians and would burn them alive at the stake, so this shows the corrupt leadership Rome was under at that time. F. Leroy Forlines mentioned how Paul was currently on his third missionary journey and was at the city of Corinth when he managed to write this letter to the Romans (The Randall House Bible Commentary, Forelines, 2).
