Perpetua of Carthage: Portrait of a Third-Century Martyr by William FarinaISBN: 9780786437139
Publication Date: 2008-10-13
This book studies the life and times of Saint Perpetua, Saint Felicity, and their companions, all martyred at Carthage in 203 A.D. Unlike most early Christian saints, whose lives are often shrouded in legend and myth, Perpetua left an authentic prison diary, later completed by an anonymous eyewitness to her execution, that is now considered a classic of Christian, Latin and feminist literature.
