Or even now.
I meant to say not really reliable at that early stage, apart from the New Testament and church tradition we cannot know if Paul or Peter actually existed, let along been in Rome during the reign of Nero.
Even personal correspondences from other people who knew both Paul and Peter would suffice, I am not sure if any survived or existed.
