Peter being a Jew and not a Roman citizen, would have been personna non grata there.

As evidenced by the fact that they crucified him upside down.

----- 25 years later?????? They wouldn't know that he was there for 25 years? After Claudius issued his decree for all Jews to leave Rome, Peter would never have been allowed into Rome at all, and if found escorted out. They weren't crucifying Jews, just expelling them from Rome, and many went to Asia Minor, Pontus, etc,. That is why he referred to them in Asia Minor as "sojourners" and had probably visited them before going to Babylon.
