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 traditional 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 click on this link.
The only writing to have survived from the reign of Pope Saint Clement I was his Epistle to the Corinthians. It was written to admonish the Church in Corinth for problems being created by some of the Church members there. The reason the issue of Peter in Rome is not addressed in that epistle is because that was neither the focus nor the intent of the letter. For a complete text of Clement's Epistle, click on this link. There is absolutely nothing surviving from the reign of Pope Anicetus, not even any oral traditions, so the statements made about him must be taken as myths.

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.
