The Passion of Saint Perpetua, Saint Felicitas, and Their Companions

In popular culture

The once-flowering rambling rose "Félicité et Perpétue" (R. sempervirens x 'Old Blush'[33]) with palest pinks buds opening nearly white, was introduced by Robert Jacques[34] in 1828.[35]

A new translation by Walter H. Shewring in 1929 of The Passion of Perpetua and Felicity was printed in a new typeface by Eric Gill given the name Perpetua.

Three historical fiction novels have been written from the point of view of Perpetua. The first was The Martyrs of Carthage: a tale of the times of old, which was published in 1868 by Annie Webb-Peploe (writing as Mrs J.B. Webb). Another is Amy Peterson's Perpetua: A Bride, A Martyr, A Passion (ISBN 978-0972927642), published 2004. The third is Malcolm Lyon's The Bronze Ladder (ISBN 978-1905237517), published 2006.

National Geographic documentary entitled Jesus Rise to Power featured the story of Perpetua in its 2nd episode (Martyrs) which was aired in 2013.[36][37][38]

BBC's documentary series and book[39] Andrew Marr's History of the World recreates the death of Perpetua in Episode 3.[40]

Catholic Heroes of the Faith: The Story of Saint Perpetua is a short animated movie that was released in 2009.
