Xtians have made lots of shit up about those two but the actual writings are somewhat vague.
Clement of Rome...possibly/probably a later fraud himself... wrote of the two merely:
In this Epistle to the Corinthians...and Corinth seems to have been a particular fascination of early xtian writers... Clement says absofuckinglutely nothing about being crucified upside down....or at all.
In fact, it sounds like the mofo had a heart attack.

Quote:1Clem 5:4
There was Peter who by reason of unrighteous jealousy endured not one
not one but many labors, and thus having borne his testimony went to
his appointed place of glory.
1Clem 5:5
By reason of jealousy and strife Paul by his example pointed out the
prize of patient endurance. After that he had been seven times in
bonds, had been driven into exile, had been stoned, had preached in
the East and in the West, he won the noble renown which was the
reward of his faith,
1Clem 5:6
having taught righteousness unto the whole world and having reached
the farthest bounds of the West; and when he had borne his testimony
before the rulers, so he departed from the world and went unto the
holy place, having been found a notable pattern of patient endurance.
