Claudia of this story may be identified with the
British princess whose marriage to a certain Pudens is
celebrated by Martial in a pleasant little epigram, and,
possibly, with the Claudia whose name occurs among the
greetings of St Paul's Second Epistle to Timothy.
It would have been interesting to identify her husband
with the Pudens whose name stands so near hers in the
Epistle, but the difficulties of doing so seem
insuperable.
