Willful blindness! I think not, just a strong desire for facts not hype or fable. If historical fact is not forthcoming then I must conclude that the events in question are still in question.

Rather than make light of my question how about giving me some historical proof. I accept nothing with blind faith. I accept much by faith (not blind) based solely on biblical pronouncements. The Bible puts Paul in Rome but says nothing about Peter being there. I can find nothing in either archeology or contemporary documentation that puts Peter in Rome. I’m not saying he was not there; just that nothing of historical value puts him there.

Or maybe you want a hotel log saying "peter checked in here, AD 63, signed Nero"? Tell me the proof you need other than 2000 years of oral and written history attesting to that fact, a marked grave, markings throughout the catacombs indicating his presence, and the fact that a church and/or pilmgrimage area was built almost immediately over the spot of his execution since immediately after his death?
