Again, pauls arrest and execution is legendary paul, and even within the context of legendary paul it wasn't his "going around spreading stories that caused trouble" that got him executed. That would be nero, deflecting blame for a fire. That little chestnut, however, is probably a myth. It rests on a single line from tacitus...with no source, not attested to by contemporaries even though they report on the same events.
It's a russian nesting doll of bullshit.
