Peter was bishop there and Paul had been brought to Rome after he had appealed to Ceasar from the unjust de- cision of the governor. After this many kept coming together to hear Paul, and they, moved by the truth which they came to understand and by the good works of the Apostles which they performed again and again, turned to the worship of God. . . . 29 In the meantime, when the number of the Christians had become very large, it happened that Rome was consumed by fire, Nero at the time being ...at Antium. But the opinion of all cast the odium of causing the fire upon the prince, and it was believed that the emperor had sought the glory of rebuilding the city. Nor did Nero bring it about in any way, that it should be believed that the fire had not been caused by his orders. Therefore he turned the odium against the Christians, and the crudest tortures were inflicted upon the innocent. Nay, even new kinds of death were contrived, so that covered with the skins of wild beasts they were torn by dogs; many were affixed to crosses or consumed by the flames, and many were saved so that when daylight had faded, they might be burned to serve as a nightly illumination.
