In Roman society, Blandina had no legal personhood, no status, no recognized humanity. The Letter from Lyon and Vienne calls her "worthless, unseemly and despised" and then says she was deemed of great honour by God, and a leader by those around her. Dr Amy Brown Hughes on why that inversion matters for how we understand Christ.
