Paul the Apostle was not actually imprisoned in Rome. He was met with hostility at the Temple in Jerusalem because of his teachings. He had to escape the crowd to save his life and gave himself voluntarily to Roman custody. He was due to appear before a Jewish court, but a plot to kill him was discovered. He was transferred to Caesarea for his safety. He was in prison there for two years. The case was reopened. He was due to be sent back to Jerusalem for a trial. However, he asked to appeal to the emperor. This is why he was sent to Rome. He sent two years under house arrests. The contemporary sources did not say how he died.
