St. Peter was crucified in Rome (67 A.D.) but, out of his respect for [[Jesus]], St. Peter requested and obtained an upside-down crucifixion, with his agonizingly pointed downwards at Rome (67 A.D.).  The brutal, anti-Christian Nero was the Roman Emperor at the time. This was recorded by the historian [[Origen]].<br>  Peter's remains were placed at a magnificent basilica erected at the foot of the [[Vatican]] Hill.
