# Rome

Italy · today Rome

The destination. Acts ends with Paul preaching in Rome under house arrest, which is the point: the gospel reaches the center of the empire without the empire authorizing it.

## What happened here

- **Paul preaching in Rome, under arrest** (AD 60-62, approximate date)
  Acts ends without saying what happens to Paul. It ends by saying that he preached freely. That is the point of the whole book.
