Over 90 percent of people in ancient Rome could not read or write, and so, were easily duped, just as they are today.
Regardless, Paul's claim is preposterous and did not happen. But, to those who wanted to believe, it made for excellent story-telling. Perhaps they imagined Paul to be some larger than life person, kind of like we would imagine a superhero.
