The Tullianum, the pit of the Mamertine Prison, was the most moving place I saw in all of Rome. Peter and Paul were both held there before being martyred under Emperor Nero. It’s an underground pit. Prisoners were lowered into it from the only opening above and taken out through the sewers. When I stood in that pit, tears rolled down my face. Peter saw the resurrected Christ. He didn’t believe, he knew.
