I have seen the Picture already that Picture doesnt prove anything to me.
St Peter and the papal succession that was based upon the Catholic insistence that the apostle was the first pope! In the Protestant ardent clamor to shoot down the theory of papal succession, they tried to place Peter as FAR AWAY from Rome and as possible.
There is no proof, Biblically speaking, that Peter ever went near Rome! The New Testament tells us he went to Antioch, Samaria, Joppa, Caesarea, and other places, but not to Rome! This is a strange omission, especially since Rome was considered the most important city in the world!
There is no proof, Biblically speaking, that Peter DIDN'T go to Rome! Why can't the phrase "other places" include Rome? This is typical of the arguments put forth by a majority of Protestants which just can't seem to understand that the presence of Peter in Rome does not have to mean he became the first pope!
Serious scholarship show that the passage of time has not neglected the overwhelming evidence that Peter did indeed visit Rome and die there.
A considerable amount of evidence has been uncovered by the archaeologist's proving a belief in Peter's residence and death in Rome.
Again and again, the figures of Peter and Paul are found in paintings, artwork, beakers and bowls attributed to the fourth century (Peter: Prince of Apostles, p. 615).
About two miles from Rome, on the Via Appia, stands the ancient church of St. Sebastian. This church was originally called the Basilica of the Apostles because of the tradition that the bodies of Peter and Paul were concealed there in a vault during the Valerian persecution (253-260 A.D.).
The first attempts to excavate under this church were made in 1892. The excavators discovered an old roman house with a row of tombs in front which dated from the 1st and 2nd centuries. An inscription showed this building to be the house of Hermes (Romans 16:14); and some 80 references to Peter were uncovered at this spot dating back to at least the 3rd century. This is clear proof that at an early date the name of Peter was associated with this location.
Close by, two fragments of sarcophagi were unearthed showing the figure of Peter.
In the catacombs of Rome the memory of Peter is widespread. Second only in importance to Christ as a subject of catacombal art, Peter is portrayed on the moldering walls of three eerie underground passageways more then 300 times! There are almost 30 different scenes and incidents from Peter's life, all from the Gospels -- depicted here beneath the Imperial City (See Catacombs, by Hertling & Kirschbaum. Pp. 242-244).
In an abbreviated form, the apostle's name was found present, at least 20 times, on the "Graffiti Wall" next to Peter's grave beneath the high altar of St. Peters in the Vatican. Most often, his initials were arranged as a monogram, which has been found all over Rome "scratched in ancient monuments, inked onto old manuscripts, worked subtly into wall mosaics, incised on the margins of public signs, roughly stamped on medals, coins, rings, statuettes, pots and similar household wares, even painted on gaming boards" (The Bones of St. Peter, p. 97).
The memory of St Peter's stay and death in Rome is to be found in many different places all around Rome.
