Life
Claudia was a woman of British descent who lived in Rome around the year 90 and was known to the poet Martial. He praises her in his Epigrams for her beauty, education and fertility, and she is probably the same as Claudia Peregrina, married to his friend Aulus Pudens, an Umbrian centurion.
A Spanish source calls her a martyr and a noble Roman; the English and French sources say nothing of veneration as a saint. The year of her death is not known with certainty.
