I’m pretty sure Europeans heard about Jesus when Peter became Bishop of Rome in the first century.

yes, you’re right. Looks like it was simultaneous.

I was thinking of a more gradual expansion towards Europe through Syria, Anatolia, Byzantium &c. They don’t need to establish their religion to run to Rome and tell people there about Jesus. Thank you for taking the time to correct what i wrote and what i had in mind.

Rome didn’t convert to Christianity until the 4th century.

Hearing about is not the same as converted. Some people in Rome became Christians. Hence Peter being Bishop of Rome. It just wasn’t a full conversion empire-wide until Constantine.
