Catholic Tradition, writings of the early Church Fathers and biblical passages place Peter in Rome in the early 5th decade of the first century AD. However, in AD49 the Roman Emperor Claudius grew fearful of the Jewish population in Rome and conflicts between Christianized Jews and the tradional Jews. He ordered the Jews out of Rome. Peter was one of them. He appears in Jerusalem about the year 49 or 50 for the Council of Jerusalem. Because of the political situation in Jerusalem Peter went to Antioch where he ruled the Church until Nero became Roman Emperor in AD56 and lifted the Jewish expulsion. Peter then returned to Rome where he remained until his death sometime between AD64 and 67. For more information see this link.

∙ 8y agoThere is no evidence that Peter ever went to Rome. In fact, Clement of Rome, writing about Peter, approximately 95 CE and so just a few decades after the time of Peter (1 Clement),seems to have been entirely unaware that Peter ever visited Rome.
The tradition that Peter went to Rome seems to have begun with the second-century Pope Anicetus, who wished to demonstrate that he spoke with the authority of Peter, and so reported that Peter had been beheaded in Rome. A century later, Origen changed this to say that Peter was sentenced to crucifixion but, feeling unworthy of being crucified like Jesus, asked to be crucified upside down.
