Eugenia of Rome was an early Christian martyr who lived during the third century. Born in Alexandria and later moving to Rome, she was the daughter of Philip. To pursue a religious life, she adopted a male identity as a monk named Eugene. While living in Alexandria, she converted numerous individuals to her faith and reportedly performed a healing for a woman named Melanthia using the sign of the cross. She was eventually executed in Rome around 258 under the rule of Emperor Gallienus.
