Our next show is Agnes, a time travel revenge story. But who is Agnes of Rome?

A 12 year old killed for rejecting the advances of grown men. Some say miracles were performed before her death. Some say this makes her a saint.

Here's how her story plays out 🧵

#history #thread Image Born in 291 AD to a nobel Roman family, Agnes would have had a fairly cushy start to life compared to other #Roman citizens. But she was a Christian when this was banned under Roman Emperor Diocletian.

By the age of 12 many grown men wanted her hand in marriage. She said no. Image
