Acts of Peter and Paul
The latest of the various apocryphal Acts included in this collection, the Acts of Peter and Paul, not to be confused with either the Acts of Peter or the Acts of Paul, contains a coherent narrative and was likely composed in the 5th century. Significantly, it reiterates the ancient traditions of Paul’s death by beheading and Peter’s death via crucifixion upside-down (Ch. 9). It also mentions the Vatican as the place of Peter’s remains (Ch. 10).
