According to historical sources and traditional accounts, it is generally accepted that both the Apostle Peter and Paul were martyred in Rome during the reign of Emperor Nero, not Domitian. Nero's persecution of Christians occurred in the 60s AD following the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD, which he reportedly blamed on the Christians. It is during this time, rather than during Domitian's reign (81-96 AD), that Peter and Paul were believed to have met their deaths. Peter is traditionally believed to have been crucified upside down, while Paul, as a Roman citizen, is thought to have been beheaded.
