Yes, according to Christian tradition, Simon Peter was executed in Rome. It is believed that he was crucified upside down during the reign of Emperor Nero around AD 64. This method of execution is said to reflect Peter's humility, as he felt unworthy to die in the same manner as Jesus. However, the exact details of his death are not documented in the New Testament and are based on later historical accounts.
