Paulina Beturia

Date

Veturia Paulla (also called Beturia Paulla, Beturia Paulina, Paulina Beturia, etc.; known as Sara after she converted to Judaism) lived sometime between 200 CE and 600 CE, though her exact birth and death dates are unknown. A Latin inscription on a piece of her stone burial container, found in the Jewish catacombs of Rome, states she was eighty-six years and six months old when she died. She became a Jew sixteen years before her death and was respected as the mother of the synagogues ("mater synagogarum") of the Campesian and Volumnian communities in Rome.
