I guess it depends on if you have enough resources to rebuild or not. I don't think insurance existed back then.

The first option is bad but at least some of your stuff is saved. It depends on if anything was irreplaceable, but then you got to pay this ass clown rent.

The second one is when no one wins, but if you have resources then just rebuild. If you have nothing then sell a plot of land for cheap, but still have nothing from the fire.

Yeah, saving your stuff from the building is a pretty big motivator since he's only buying the property, not everything in it. I'm sure he got a lot of takers.

he did become the richest man in rome off it, so it would seem so.

He did end up with molten gold down his throat that all his riches couldn't prevent. Not directly as a result of this bullshittery unfortunately.
