A student of mine has asked me an interesting question (I love those students!).  We've been discussing the concept of Petrine supremacy and he asked me what the source was for Peter having actually been in Rome during Nero's persecution.  I initially told him that it was in the Book of Acts, but then I checked and could find no reference to Peter being there.  Indeed, the text doesn't even have Paul in Rome.

I know that this has to be documented somewhere, but I need some help in finding it.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

"But Christianity preaches an obviously unattractive idea, such as original sin; but when we wait for its results, they are pathos and brotherhood, and a thunder of laughter and pity; for only with original sin we can at once pity the beggar and distrust the king." -- G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

Look at the section called "Activity and death in Rome; burial place" for references.

Peter was first in Rome in the forties establishing the church in Rome, and he suffered martyrdom under Nero.
