Theodora of Rome

Saint Theodora, martyr, is called in our list Theodora of Rome, but the Greek source says that she lived at Alexandria, in the time of the emperors Diocletian and Maximian. She suffered in the year 304. She is commemorated on 5 April.

In the time of the persecutions she was seized and shut up in a house of shame. She escaped from there with the help of the official Didymus, who brought her out disguised as a soldier. Both were discovered, however, and suffered: Theodora was burned, and Didymus was beheaded.

We have no further details about her, and the connection with Rome, in the name of our list, does not appear in the source we have.
