Christian from Rome whose greetings Paul includes in his second letter to Timothy. (2Ti 4:21.)
Source: Dictionary of the Bible
Roman Christian who greets Timothy (2 Ti. 4.21); according to some highly imaginative reconstructions she was the wife of *Pudente, and even, on the basis of the bad authority of the Apostolic Constitutions 7.2.6, the mother of *Lino. Alford, in loc., equates Timoteo’s friend with the British Claudia, whose marriage to a certain Pudente is celebrated by Marcial (cf. Epig. 4. 13 with 11. 53), and with the hypothetical Claudia of a spurious Pudente in an inscription from Chichester, England (CIL 7.11). However, Martial arrived in Rome in 66 AD, and hints at little Christian leanings about this Pudente. Another Pudente and Claudia appear in CIL 6. 15066; but Claudia was a very common name at that time.
