You are brought to a Roman prefect who asks whether you are a Christian, as you were found not paying tribute to the ‘pagan’ Roman gods. Without hesitation, you declare yourself a Christian, and the prefect calmly responds: “would you rather die by an animal, sword, club, oil, water, fire, cross, suffocation, or dislocation?”
