Best Answer

Saint Peter (Simon) was probably born about the year AD1 in Bethsaida, Galilee, and died about the year 64-67 in Rome. The actual dates are not recorded in scripture but 2000 years of Catholic tradition and writings of early Church fathers and apocryphal writings support Peter's presence and death in Rome under the reign of Emperor Nero.

We do not know when Saint Peter was born, nor when he died. Paul, in his epistles, mentions meeting Peter, perhaps in the forties of the first century, so Peter must have still been alive then, but more we do not know.

A second-century tradition says that Peter went to Rome to lead the Christian community there, and was executed by Nero in 65 CE. However, there is no suggestion in Paul's Epistle to the Romans (usually dated around 60 CE) that he expected to find Peter in Rome. Clement of Rome, who ought to have known if Peter had been in Rome only about thirty years earlier, seems unaware that Peter either came to Rome or was executed there (1 Clement).
