And what was funny about that. Latin was common among the Roman guards and just like living in So Cal, you pick up some Spanish, it is common knowledge that most of the people in the ANE knew a smattering of Latin, even the commoners.

Mel Gibson movies do not reflect history.

Now let me see if I am getting the gist of what you are saying here.

It is your contention that Peter, a man who would go on to be a leader in the Early Church, who was born and raised in the middle of the Roman Empire, an Empire whose language was Latin, who traveled at the very crossroads between the Northern and Southern parts of said empire ultimately winding up in Rome itself, a place where more than a “smattering “ of Latin was spoken, to grow the Church in the regions he traveled in, preach to the locals on the journey and be martyred, in Rome, under the Emperor Nero spoke NO Latin at all?

Incredible...

ROFL. That is funny. My knowledge doesn’t come from Mel Gibson movies, rather a PhD in Ancient History (Roman).

So, epic fail on your part.
