Did anyone else notice this? Or am I being an idiot...

Yeah, you are being an idiot.
Interesting observation.

Yup, hence the soundtrack has a track titled, "Nero Fiddles, Narada Burns."

um... Romulus was one of two mythical twin brothers (his brother was Remus). Romulus founded Rome. Nero is an unsubtle allusion to the Roman emperor you mentioned.

Well that answers that.. I guess I was being an idiot.
No one else I talked to got the reference.

Yeah I know who Romulus and Remus are.
