Note to Anon Mey 57VII

[4] Potenciána: Putentiana, whose feast day is 19 May, was supposedly a Roman martyr. She is mentioned in one of the manuscripts of Jerome’s martyrology, but in no early known sources. In early Christian Rome, a senator Pudens existed, on whose land a church was built which was called titulus Pudensis or ecclesia Pudentianae. It seems likely that from this name came the supposition that it was dedicated to a S. Putentiana.
