Although we know very little about this journey, a brief record of it has been preserved in the 1st century writings of Clement.

    In addition to Spain, Paul went to the island of Crete and then on to Nicopolis in the Province of Macedonia in late 65 AD. It was at Nicopolis where Paul wrote a letter back to Titus at Crete and his first letter to Timothy at Ephesus.

    Paul Imprisoned

    According to Roman history, Emperor Nero visited Nicopolis in 66 AD to participate in the Actian games. Since he was a megalomaniac feared by the people, the games were rigged so that Nero won every event he competed in, from music con
