Best Answer
A:The Apostle Paul wrote of Peter living in Jerusalem and travellin to parts of Syria seemingly unhindered and without persection. However, a second-century tradition is that Peter went to Rome and was either beheaded or crucified there. Against this, Clement of Rome, writing around 95 CE (1 Clement), spoke in general terms about the life and death of Peter but appears to have been unaware that Peter had even visited Rome and was certainly unaware that he had been executed in any way at all, although he surely would have known if this were the case.

The Catholic Church has a 2000 year old tradition that Peter was crucified upside down. He did not feel he was worthy to die in the same manner as Our Lord.
