The facts on the card

- In the first three centuries of the Christian era, many of Peter's successors as bishops of Rome are obscure figures, most suffering martyrdom along with members of their flock in periods of persecution.

- After the fall of the Western Roman Empire about 476, the medieval papacy was influenced by the temporal rulers of Italy, these periods are known as the Ostrogothic Papacy, Byzantine Papacy, and Frankish Papacy.
