The biblical story
Claudia is mentioned in 2Ti.4.21 as one of the believers in Rome who sent greetings to Timothy through Paul's letter. She is listed alongside Eubulus, Pudens, Linus, and "all the brethren." The inclusion of her name suggests that she was a prominent member of the Roman church and known to both Paul and Timothy. As Paul was writing from prison in Rome, Claudia's greeting indicates her support and concern for both Paul and Timothy.
