I've not read either of those, but did recently read Eucebius's The Church History, which includes a chapter on martyrs during that period. That's tough reading, but worthwhile.
Have you read Foxe's Book of Martyrs?
Hello I recommend the book "in the arena" It is about Christian martyrs in the time of the Romans. At least that is what I think it is called.
What accounts of Christian martyrs have you read that you recommend?
