Julia of Corsica - Other Views

Other Views

She may have lived in the 6th or 7th centuries and killed by Moors rather than the Roman authorities. Some scholars believe that Julia was indeed of Carthaginian origin, but that she died in Africa during the persecutions of Decius (ca. 250 AD) or Diocletian, and that her association with Corsica derives from the fact that her relics were brought to this island during the invasion of Africa by the Vandals under Gaiseric, who was of Arian faith.

Famous quotes containing the word views:

    Parents must begin to discover their children as individuals of developing tastes and views and so help them be, and see, themselves as thinking, feeling people. It is far too easy for a middle-years child to absorb an over-simplified picture of himself as a sloppy, unreliable, careless, irresponsible, lazy creature and not much more—an attitude toward himself he will carry far beyond these years.
    Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)

    The universe is wider than our views of it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
