Also known as Potentiana, a Roman virgin and daughter of St. Pudens. According to legend, she was the daughter of the Roman senator named in St. Paul's Second Letter to Timothy who gave away her wealth to the poor, aided the burials of Christians, and died at the age of sixteen. As her name is not found in any of the ancient martyrologies and owing to the unreliability of her origins, the cult of Pudentiana was suppressed in 1969 and her veneration is confined to her basilica in Rome.
