Margaret is shown here as Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and warfare. She was known for her erudition and her encouragement of contemporary French writers.

Rather than immediately order her execution, Maxentius sent 50 of his most gifted orators and philosophers to persuade her to renounce her faith. Moved by the power of the Holy Spirit, Catherine converted some of her opponents.

Aspasia lived in the 5th century BCE and achieved remarkable status as a thinker and intellectual, perhaps even setting up her own academic centre for the exchange of ideas and the instruction of women.
