07 May - Flavia Domitilla or Flavie Domitille, sometimes simply called Domitille, is a member of the Flavian Roman imperial family, who died after 95, and is mentioned by historians of the first three centuries. Daughter of Domitilla the Younger, and therefore granddaughter of the Roman Emperor Vespasian and niece of the emperors Titus and Domitian, she married the Roman consul Titus Flavius Clemens.

In the Acts of Saints Nereus and Achilles, an anonymous work of the 5th or 6th century, the main character is a young Christian girl called Flavie Domitilla who decides to consecrate her virginity. Flavie is consecrated to God by Clement of Rome, remains faithful to her vow despite all the pressure exerted on her and is executed in Terracina by the brother of her fiancé, who comes to set fire to the house where she is reclusive with two other young Christian virgins, because the Emperor Trajan has authorized her to execute all those who in this affair will refuse to sacrifice to the Roman gods.
