This work highlights the legal position of Christian women under the Roman Empire collected from accounts of trials and martyrdom from Tertullian to Jerome and John Chrysostom. The purpose of such trials is both coercive and punitive; and the crime is both being an enemy of the country and treason in subverting the majesty of the Emperor.
