Pseudo-Marcellus is an anonymous writer of an early Christian document named Passio sanctorum Petri et Pauli. It is a reworking of apocryphal traditions concerning the martyrdom of Paul.[1][2] In the text the emperor Nero's fury after the breakdown of the magician Simon is immediate cause for Peter's (and Paul's) martyrdom.[3][4]
