When Nero shows off his model of the new Rome, Petronius asks "But what of the Rome that has stood for 1000 years?" Rome was dated "Ab Urbe Condita" from the city's founding, reputedly in 753 BCE. Petronius would have been careful not to insult Nero by exaggerating, so he would have said 800 years.
