DESCRIPTION:The place is Roman North Africa\; the scene\, Chri
 stians facing the prospect of martyrdom\, and tell
 ing of their dreams of Paradise\, in two narrative
 s dating to the second and third centuries CE. The
 ir visions borrow richly from pagan imagery around
  the ‘locus amoenus’\, the pleasant place of class
 ical literature. This (illustrated!) talk will see
 k to ground their imagery of the afterlife not onl
 y in literary but in material culture\, showing ho
 w they seek to appropriate the joys of elite exist
 ence as consolation for their suffering at the han
 ds of the governing class on earth.\n\nRegister "h
