2nd century texts known as the "Clementines" had made Peter the "first Bishop of Rome" and 3rd century invention gave him a 25-year pontificate – which made it a tad tricky for him to have died at the hands of Nero but, hey, this is "tradition."
Ang mga pagkakathang-isip na nangyari noong ika-3 na siglo ang nagbigay naman kay Pedro ng diumano’y 25 taon ng pag-upo bilang papa – at hindi naman nila nahalata papaano kaya siya naipapatay ni Nero kung gayon. Pero, aba teka, huwag kukuwestiyunin ang “tradisyon”.
