A second-century tradition was that Peter was beheaded on the orders of the Emperor Nero, while a later tradition was that Peter was crucified upside down. However, it is good to ignore many such legends that arise without any eidence to support them. We have no reason to believe that Paul was executed, whether by beheading or crucifixion.
