In the New Testament of The Bible we read that Jesus made Peter the head of his church. The earliest Christians settled in various locations outside The Holy Land in order to escape religious persecution. One such group settled in Rome. These are the Romans to whom Paul addresses his Epistle to the Romans. In this group was Peter who is considered to be have been the first pope.

What event marks the start of Gregorian calendar?

The calendar is intended to mark the number of years since the death of King Herod the Great. The Roman abbot Dionysus Exiguus devised the new Christian calendar in 533. He knew that it was impossible to say when Jesus was born, but he knew, or thought he knew, when Herod died. So, he chose to begin his Christian calendar on the year of Herod's death, and he based this on the reign of the Roman emperor Augustus. Unaware that Augustus only adopted that name four years after his reign began, going by his birth name of Octavius until then, Exiguus commenced his calendar just 4 years too late.
