Saint Balbina was a 2nd-century Christian virgin martyr living in Rome. According to legendary accounts, she was the daughter of Quirinus, a Roman military tribune. Her life is often tied to the story of Pope Alexander I, whom her father was tasked with imprisoning. While some historical details of her life are considered mythical, she is traditionally remembered for her devotion to the Christian faith, which eventually led to her martyrdom under the reign of Emperor Hadrian.
