medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Yes, there are. See Stelios Panayotakis, "Three Death Scenes in _Apollonius of Tyre_", in Stelios Panayotakis, Maaike Zimmerman, and Wytse Keulen, edd., _The Ancient Novel and Beyond_ (Brill, 2003), pp. 143-157, esp. pp. 152-153 (Google Books preview at <http://tinyurl.com/nlun2ay>). The historical accuracy of this one may be thought questionable: cf. (e.g.) David Potter, "Performance, Power and Justice in the High Empire", in William J. Slater, ed., _Roman Theater and Society: E. Togo Salmon Papers, vol. 1_ (Univ. of Michigan Press, 1996), pp. 129-160, esp. pages 146-147 (Google Books preview at <http://tinyurl.com/mgmcm2e>).
