Paul was taken as a prisoner to Rome to stand trial before the Emperor Nero. He was held in prison for some time, writing the last of his epistles, and then was, according to tradition. beheaded under orders from Nero.

Who killed St Paul?

A:There is a Christian tradition that Emperor Nero had both Peter and Paul executed in Rome. However, Clement of Rome who, writing around 95 CE, ought to have known if this had been the case, seems to have believed that Paul went to the 'west' (Spain) and lived out his remaining years there. Supporting this is that Acts of the Apostles, also written around the end of the century, makes no mention of the martyrdom of Paul. We do not know how Paul died.


Who was the first Christian ruler of Rome?

f you are referring to the Roman Empire, it could be said that the first Christian was Jesus himself, who preached in Judea, which was part of the Roman Empire. If you are referring to the city of Rome, it is not known. It is also unclear when Christians first appeared in Rome. The earliest mention of Christians in Rome is in the Acts of the Apostles, which says that the Jewish Christian couple Priscilla and Aquila had recently come from Rome to Corinth in 50 A.D. when Paul reached Corinth. Therefore, there were Christians in Rome before 50 A.D. The Christian tradition says that the See of Rome was founded by Peter and Paul. There is evidence which suggests that Paul reached Rome before Peter.
