Alexandra of Rome was a Christian martyr who lived during the late third and early fourth centuries. According to various traditions, she was either the wife of the Roman Emperor Diocletian or the spouse of a prefect named Dacian. She is famously associated with the martyrdom of Saint George, as her public profession of faith occurred while witnessing his suffering. Following her conversion, she was imprisoned in Nicomedia and eventually executed for her religious convictions.
