This documentation not only reports on the historical facts of the persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire, but also tries to show the life of the first Christians from the perspective of faith. The execution of two young women - Perpetua and Felicitas - is not a legend, but historically documented. Based on the diary left by Perpetua herself, we follow the traces of these two holy women.
