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.
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 ]
Felicitas of Rome (c. 101 – 165), also anglicized as Felicity, is a saint numbered among the Christian martyrs. Apart from her name, the only thing known for certain about this martyr is that she was buried in the Cemetery of Maximus , on the Via Salaria on a 23 November. [ 2 ]
The popular Passio sanctae Perpetuae et Felicitatis (Passion of Saints Perpetua and Felicity), much of it presented as the personal diary of Perpetua, was once assumed to have been edited by Tertullian. That view is no longer widely held, and the work is usually published separately from Tertullian's own works.

Article says: "Perpetua's diary was published posthumously, and has prompted extensive debate on families and gender in early Christianity." but does not give any reference. It should, though, when making tall claims like that. Or, as they say, "Encyclopedic content must be verifiable." 94.220.54.154 21:07, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
