	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Flavia Domitilla
		Flavia Domitilla who was banished for her faith, and that it was used as a Christian burial place as early as the first century.
		Flavia Domitilla was banished to the island of Pandataria in the Tyrrhenian Sea.

	The Compass newspaper -- Saint of the Day
		Flavia Domitilla (also known as Domitilla) was the niece of St. Flavius Clemens and the Emperor Vespasian (69-79) and a cousin of Titus and Domitian, both successors of Vespasian.
		After Flavia converted to Christianity, she was banished to the island of Pandatania in the Tyrrhenian Sea (west of Italy between Sicily and Sardinia).
		Flavia lived several years in a cell on the island before she was sent to Terracina, where the Emperor Trajan (98-117) had her burned to death because she refused to sacrifice to Roman gods.

	ST. DOMITILLA
		Flavia hid Christians in her estate, let priests say mass there and gave her family vault to Christians as a burial place, which today is still called the Catacomb of Saint Domitilla.
		Flavia Domitilla consecrated her virginity to God and received a veil from Clement I, the fourth Pope, but her suitor was so disappointed he sought revenge and denounced Domitilla to the local police as being a Christian.
		Domitilla's grand-uncle, Domitian, was emperor of Rome at this time and since he could not have her put to death, he banished her to a volcanic island prison (Ponza) thirty miles from Naples where she led a miserable life.

	Flavia Domitilla
		The first of these was the wife of the Emperor Vespasian; the second was his daughter and sister to the Emperors Titus and Domitian; her daughter, the third Domitilla, married her mother's first cousin to Titus Flavius Clemens, a nephew of the Emperor Vespasian and first cousin to Titan and Domitian.
		In the case of Domitilla no doubt can remain, since De Rossi showed that the "Coemeterium Domitillae" (see EARLY CHRISTIAN CEMETERIES) was situated on ground belonging to the Flavia Domitilla who was banished for her faith, and that it was used as a Christian burial place as early as the first century.
		Abrahami, 2110), the spurious acts of Nereus and Achilles, and St. Jerome (Ep., CVIII, 7) represent Flavia Domitilla as the niece, not the wife of the consul Flavius Clemens, and say that her place of exile was Pontia, an island also situated in the Tyrrrhenian Sea.

		Both Flavius Clemens and his wife, Flavia Domitilla, were to suffer persecution for the sake of Christ when their faith became known to the Emperor who did not spare his own niece.
		One wonders, however, why the memory of the life and martyrdom of Flavia Domitilla was so strong among the faithful even though she was not commemorated in the liturgical books of martyrs venerated by the Roman Church.
		One of the motive which contributed largely to the development of the Cemetery of Domitilla and to the subsequent enrichment of its chapels was the devotion to the martyrs buried there.

	Quintus Petillius Cerialis
		Legion commanders were usually former praetors and as such, they had to be in their early thirties, because there was a minimum age for the praetorship: one had to be 30 years old.

		Cerialis and Flavia Domitilla had two sons: Gaius Petillius Firmus, an officer in the Fourth legion Flavia in Dalmatia, and Quintus Petillius Rufus, consul in 83.

		One of his four children, Titus Flavius Clemens, later consul and martyr, married Flavia Domitilla, who was a granddaughter of his uncle, the emperor Vespasian, and therefore a cousin of Titus and Domitian.
		It is curious that the Domitilla chapel in the catacombs of Rome is arranged on a Jewish pattern (N. Müller, in Herzog-Hauck, "Real-Encyc." 3d ed.,x.863).
		But he mentions only the conversion of Domitilla, saying that she was the daughter of Clemens' sister, and that she was deported to the island of Pontia (compare also his "Chronicle," year 98).

		Flavia did not live to witness her husband's emperorship and after her death Vespasian returned to his former mistress Caenis, who had been secretary to Antonia (daughter of Marc Antony and mother of Claudius).

	Persecution under Domitian
		Evidence for persecution of Christians during the reign of Domitian is slim.
		Most often, reference is made to the famous account by Dio Cassius (67.14.1-2) of the execution of Flavius Clemens, a Roman consul and cousin of the Emperor, and the banishment of his wife, Flavia Domitilla, to the island of Pandateria, for "atheism" (athotês) and practicing Jewish customs (ta tôn Ioudaiôn).
		In any case, the only Christian martyrdom at this time Eusebius refers to is that of a certain Flavia Domitilla, whom he identifies -- appealing to reports of "writers foreign to our belief" -- as "the niece (!) of Flavius Clemens" (3.18.4).
