After 30 years of ministering the words of Christ, the apostle Simon nicknamed Peter (St. Peter) 'the Rock' after the Greek word 'Petrvs' by Jesus, one of the first disciples arrives in Rome and is martyred there. Crucified upside down because he said he was not worthy to die as Christ did. Peter is considered the first Pope (from Pape, Greek for father; Papa was in common useage in the 5th century) and as he was anointed by Christ, so to would he and his successors anoint by laying hands on those who would minister the new Christian Church.
St. Paul also dies in Rome bet. 64 and 67 A.D. during Emperor Nero's persecutions.
Peter probably died at the time of the Great Fire of Rome. Emperor Nero 'fiddled as Rome burned', and the Empire would be thrown into chaos within a year of Nero's death in 68 A.D. |

Jerusalem, Palestine |
Following outbreaks of revolt in Jerusalem, Nero sends his general Titus Flavius Vespasianu, son of the Emperor to be, Vespasian (founder of the short Flavian dynasty) to quell the uprising. After a siege, the Temple is 'accidentally' burnt down in 70 AD and by 26 Sep 70 the Romans had regained control. Titus razed what was left of the town, except a few parts of the wall as a reminder.
It took 60 years to rebuilt Jerusalem, renamed Aelia Capitolana. The Jewish population was deported and replaced by soldiers of the Roman 10th Legion.
Suffering punitive taxes, more revolts followed. The last one following Hadrian's outlawing of Judaism. The Bar Kochba revolt lasted 3 years to 135, and was only crushed by ten legions, a third of the Empire's army, at a cost of the lives of (acc. to Cassius Dio) 580,000 Jews. Many Jews were sold as slaves and many Jewish towns were destroyed, including Jerusalem. It marks the end of the old Israel, and the start of the Diaspora, the exodus of Jews.
For the Jew's part in the crucifixion of Christ, Christian disciples would write anti-Semitic texts in their gospels, New Testament, Matthew 27:25 "His blood be on us, and on our children" and the Jewish people would be persecuted for centuries. Similarly, Jesus, a jew, had taken the sins of man upon himself and forgiven his persecutors |
