===== 1. Paul was supposedly beheaded in Rome (around 64-67 AD) under Emperor Nero. =====
# No direct eyewitness account exists. Everything is based on later Christian tradition.
# The only sources claiming his execution are Christian writings—not Roman records.
# It is entirely possible that his execution was faked or staged, especially if he was a Roman asset.

Now, regarding his letters:
* Modern analysis suggests multiple writers, meaning someone else (or multiple people) could have been writing in his name.
* If Rome wanted to control Christianity, they could have used Paul’s name to shape its future.
* There is no proof that Rome didn’t hijack his writings—only tradition says he wrote them all.
