On the other hand, early commentators don't seem to have thought of Nero.

666 is a threefold falling short of 777, and thus would have the
symbolism of thorough imperfection, not necessarily alluding to a
particular known name, although compatible with a jab at Nero as a
then-contemporary example of antichrist-type behavior.
