Perpetua and Felicity (Latin: Perpetua et Felicitas; c. 182 [6] – c. 203) were Christian martyrs of the third century. Vibia Perpetua was a recently married, well-educated noblewoman , said to have been 22 years old at the time of her death, and mother of an infant son she was nursing. [ 7 ]
The traditional view has been that Perpetua, Felicity and the others were martyred owing to a decree of Roman emperor Septimius Severus (193–211). This is based on a reference to a decree Severus is said to have issued forbidding conversions to Judaism and Christianity, but this decree is known only from one source, the Augustan History, an unreliable mix of fact and fiction.
