On March 7, 203, in the amphitheater at Carthage, Vibia Perpetua was one of five Christians who met their deaths after refusing to venerate Roman emperor Septimius Severus and his son.

Literature has the power to show us what a holy life looks like, and these depictions often scandalize even as they shape our imagination.
