Abstract
The article aims at providing an original reading of the Coptic "Act of Peter" preserved in BG 8502.4, arguing in favor of its heresiological origin and suggesting the possibility that it could restore a privileged insight into the second century Christian Rome. The relationships that the literary work maintains with the most relevant Greek and Latin witnesses of the Petrine Acts are also investigated, as well as the indirect attestations of narratives dedicated to the daughter of Peter
