Biblical Places

The capital of the Roman Empire where Paul was imprisoned and both Peter and Paul were martyred.

Biblical Significance

Paul wrote his Epistle to the Romans before arriving in the city. He was later shipwrecked on the way to Rome (Acts 27) and spent two years under house arrest (Acts 28:16-31). Tradition holds that both Peter and Paul were martyred in Rome—Paul by beheading and Peter by crucifixion (upside down).

Historical Context

Rome was the center of the ancient world, with a population exceeding one million. The city featured magnificent structures like the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Circus Maximus. Early Christians were often persecuted here, including mass executions under Nero after the Great Fire of 64 AD.
