Pudentiana was a Christian virgin and martyr living in Rome during the late first or early second century. As the eldest daughter of the senator Pudens, she is traditionally identified as a contemporary of the Apostles. She is remembered for her refusal to worship Roman emperors, specifically Marcus Aurelius and Antoninus Pius, as gods. Often associated with her sister Praxedes, she is celebrated for her early devotion to the faith in the Roman imperial era.
