I just finished reading “Characters of the Passion” by Fulton J. Sheen.

He talks about Claudia, the only Roman woman to mentioned in Scripture.

Indeed as the text says: **Pilate’s wife is a Roman matron of the upper class**

Sheen’s book compared her with Herodias, and Claudia came out winners. Short and great read.

I have never heard of this book by Bishop Sheen. After reading your comment I went to my Kindle, downloaded the book. All in the space of about 30 seconds. Technology can be good.!

Thanks for mentioning the book
