The earliest known Patrícia was a Roman noblewoman in the 4th century AD. Her father was the Roman prefect Decius Magnus Basilius, who converted to Christianity late in his life. Patrícia was a devout Christian and was married to the Roman nobleman Publius Decius Mus. She was martyred with her husband during the persecution of Christians under the Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate.
Late 4th century AD
Patrícia, a female saint in the Catholic Church, is also known as Saint Patricia of Rome. She is believed to have been a young girl during the reign of Emperor Diocletian (284-305 AD). According to legend, she was taken as a slave to Africa but was freed by a monk named Saint Felix who converted her to Christianity. She returned to Rome to live as a hermit and was later martyred during the persecutions of Christians under Emperor Maxentius in the early 4th century AD.
