Descriptions

To take revenge for the rejection of a girl (Livia), a Roman patrician (Marco Licinio) denounces her to the praetor as a Christian. The young girl is taken to prison: her heroism and her faith move the patrician, who converts to Christianity and is martyred together with the one he loves.

Marcus Lycinius is in love with a young girl, Livia. His jealous mistress finds out that Livia is a Christian and has her arrested. Marcus tries to make her renounce her faith but she converts him and they go to martyrdom together. Marcus Lycinius, a cruel patrician, nurses an unrequited passion for Livia, a young girl. His jealous mistress follows Livia on the way to the Catacombs and discovers that she is a Christian. She hastens to Marcus with the news and he takes his revenge on Livia by denouncing her to the Prefect. The Catacombs are searched and Livia and her fellow Christians taken prisoner. Marcus goes to her prison to persuade her to renounce her faith, but her steadfastness and the appearance of an angelic vision persuade him, on the contrary, to accept Christianity, and he and Livia go to martyrdom together.
