In 64 AD. much of Rome was destroyed in a great fire. Some say it was an accident, others said that the Roman Emperor Nero had it started so that he could rebuild the city in his own vision. Nero had little use for the new Christian religion so decided to blame the fire on them and began arresting, torturing and killing them. Peter was the leader of the Christians so he was a principal target of Nero's insanity.
