Pomponia Graecina

Pomponia Graecina was a noble Roman woman of the first century who was related to the Julio-Claudian dynasty. She was the wife of Aulus Plautius, the general who led the Roman conquest of Britain in 43 AD, and was renowned as one of the few people who dared to publicly mourn the death of a kinswoman killed by the Imperial family. It has been speculated that she was an early Christian. She is identified by some as Saint Lucina or Lucy, honoured by the Roman Catholic Church, who would have buried the bodies of martyrs Martinian and Processus.
