A:Origen was the first to say, in the third century, that the apostle Peter was crucified upside down. Previously, there was a somewhat different tradition that Peter was beheaded, beginning with Pope Anicetus in the second century.

Clement of Rome, writing around 95 CE (1 Clement), spoke in general terms about the life and death of Peter but appears to have been unaware that Peter had visited Rome or that he had been executed in any way at all.

The Church has made no statement as to how Peter died.
