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

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