Valeria of Milan was an early Christian martyr who lived during the first or second century. Born into a noble family in Milan, she was among the city's earliest converts to the faith. She was the wife of Vitalis and the mother of Gervasius and Protasius. Depending on the historical tradition, she died either in Milan after refusing to participate in pagan sacrifices or in Rome after being executed in the Colosseum for her religious convictions.
