Perpetua: A Tale of Nimes in A.D. 213 is a historical novel written by S. Baring-Gould and published in 1897. The story is set in ancient Rome and follows the life of a young woman named Perpetua, who is a Christian living in the city of Nimes. Perpetua's faith is put to the test when she is arrested and imprisoned for refusing to renounce her beliefs. She faces persecution and torture, but remains steadfast in her convictions. The novel explores themes of faith, martyrdom, and the clash between Christianity and the Roman Empire. It also provides a vivid portrayal of life in ancient Rome, including its social customs, religious practices, and political intrigues. Overall, Perpetua is a compelling and thought-provoking historical novel that offers a glimpse into the lives of early Christians and the challenges they faced in a hostile world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
