Domitilla

Holy Martyr Domitilla lived in the 1st century at Rome, in the time of Domitian. The Greek synaxarion says that she was the wife of the Roman official Titus Flavius Clemens and a niece of the Emperor Domitian (81-96), a daughter of his sister, and that she received a martyr's death because she refused to sacrifice to idols. A Western calendar commemorates her on 12 May as Flavia Domitilla, a great-⁠niece of the emperors Domitian and Titus and of Flavius Clemens: she is said to have been exiled from Rome because she refused to marry a pagan, and martyred with her foster sisters, Euphrosyne and Theodora. The two sources do not agree in every detail.

She is commemorated on 12 May, by the Western calendar (new style). She is honored as a saint of the undivided Church.
