| Abstract
|
:
|
Perpetua was an early Christian martyr who died in Roman Carthage in 203 CE. She has attracted great interest for her narrative written in prison just before she went to her death in the amphitheater. Her story is steeped in mystery, and every aspect of her life and death has generated much controversy.
