    Following the precedent of past Roman emperors, Diocletian presented himself as divine, thus invoking the reverence and loyalty of his subjects (Brownworth 6). However, although pagan citizens readily adapted to this declaration, Christians, due to their monotheistic beliefs, were unable to acknowledge and give sacrifices to Diocletian. Consequently, Diocletian, in what would become one of the most monumental blunders of his career, issued an edict to force Christians to sacrifice to him at the threat of death (6-7). From here, his policy only became more extreme. Christians were persecuted, temples were desecrated, and holy texts were burnt.

    Also she wanted people to continue talking about her, spreading her story of love and faith and if she became a saint she would be praised, but sadly it seems, forgotten. Once she gets the highest title of saint most people would believe she reached her peak and stop following her movements. Not wanting that honor showed that she cared more about the people (and the faith) than the fame. To me, that’s what being a saint is all about. Her compassion and courage to help others and further explore her faith without any personal gain other than the sheer goodness that comes from supporting others is the most important reason why she should be a

    In her account of the end of her life (from her journal while she was in prison), Perpetua detailed how enraged her father was by her decision, as well as how she refused to “offer sacrifice for the emperor’s welfare.” During her time in court, she was sentenced to the beasts, which caused her and her fellow Christians great joy. There was no fear in any of them, only joy, and when the beasts were released, Perpetua didn’t feel excruciating pain, nor did she feel great pain from the stab wound she got from the gladiator. It wasn’t until Perpetua “took the young gladiator’s trembling hand [and] guided his sword to her throat” and killed herself did she truly experience martyrdom. In a short amount of time, Perpetua went from making no decisions to deciding when and by whom her life ended.
