ABSTRACT
Description of the life of St. Juliana Nicomediae (+305). Juliana was a Christian virgin from Nicomedië. She was engaged to a Roman prefect but refused to marry him because he wasn't a follower of the Christian faith. Moreover, she rejected the pagan rituals to which she was forced by him and her father. For these reasons, she underwent several tortures.
