Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a narrative of a turbulent period in Roman history through the exchange of letters between key characters of the time. The beginning of the third century AD marked a time of crisis for the Roman Empire, with threats to its physical and moral fabric from all sides. Among these was the growing popularity of Christianity, a religion seen by some as undermining the traditional Roman moral order. The letters provide a window into the motivations and fears of the different factions and individuals involved in this struggle for the future of Rome. The author shows how personal experiences and beliefs shaped the actions of both the persecutors and the persecuted, revealing the human cost of religious and political upheaval. The book explores themes of faith, tolerance, and the limits of imperial power. It sheds light on the origins and spread of Christianity within the Roman Empire and the challenges it faced from the established order. Through its vivid portrayal of a pivotal moment in history, this book offers valuable insights into the nature of religious persecution and the resilience of those who hold beliefs that challenge the status quo.
