"."Extensive testing and forensic examination verified the remains of the first century, roughly 65-year-old man (who had been crucified upside-down by Nero) as Peter. Pope Francis then displayed the relics to a large crowd in St. Peter’s Square and proclaimed these as Peter in 2013

I read both this book and also The Bones of Saint Peter recently. Different perspectives of the same story, both great reads.
 
Make sure to take the Scavi tour when you visit St. Peter’s! It is fascinating.
