DescriptionItaly-0197 - Church of Sant'Aurea (5140652207).jpg
Church of Sant'Aurea - Saint Aurea was a Christian girl, who was executed in the mid-third century during the reign of Claudius Gothicus (268-270 AD) or Trebonianus Gallus (251-253 AD). Apparently she belonged to the family of a king or a Roman Emperor but because of her religious conviction she was sent away from Rome to Ostia, where she lived on her own estate outside the city walls. Aurea was tortured, but refused to give sacrifices to the pagan gods. She was then thrown in the sea with a stone tied to her neck. She was buried on her own property.
The first church of Aurea may have been built in the fifth century.
