Which two Christian apostles died in Rome?
The apostles commonly believed to have died in Rome are Peter and Paul. However, there is no evidence that Peter ever went to Rome, and, while Paul no doubt went to Rome, it is uncertain that he died there. However, the greatest prestige that the bishops of Rome enjoyed in the early centuries of Christianity accrued to them because they claimed to be the custodians of the tombs of Saints Peter and Paul.
