This classic work transports us to the fourth century AD Rome and illustrates the conflict between the established pagan civilization and the emerging Christianity.
Fabiola is a sophisticated young patrician woman who admires the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers' beliefs. One day, she discovers that her friend Sebastian, a Praetorian Guard officer, is a Christian. One of her slaves is also missing, as is her beloved cousin Agnes.
As Maximian reignites the persecution of Christians in Rome, heroes and traitors clash all around Fabiola. “Whoever is not with Me is against Me”, “whoever does not gather with Me scatters”, says Our Lord Jesus Christ. This is what is at stake in this drama where the actors show us the best and the worst of what each one can become.
