Julia of Corsica was a 5th-century Carthaginian woman who became a Christian martyr while living in Corsica under Roman rule. Following the Vandal conquest of Carthage, she was reportedly taken into service by a merchant named Eusebius. While stationed at Cap Corse, her refusal to participate in pagan sacrifices led to a confrontation with a local magistrate named Felix. Because of her steadfast faith and subsequent death, she is recognized as a saint in several Christian traditions, including the Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican churches.
