Agathoclia was a Christian martyr who lived during the early third century. According to tradition, she was a slave owned by two former Christians, Nicolas and Paulina, who had returned to paganism. Despite facing frequent physical violence from her owners to force her to renounce her faith, she remained steadfast. Her refusal to abandon Christianity eventually led to a public trial before a local magistrate, where she suffered severe injuries for her convictions.
