An Uncertain Christian Lady.
TThe SnectatOr1

We are not at all surprised to find that
authors do their best to claim good So
cial position for some of the earliest con-
verts to Christianity. There are, indeed,
few passages well known to scholars
which rarely seem to favor such con-
clusion. There is, for instance, the story
of Pomponia Graecina, the wife of Aulus
Plautius, the conqueror of Britain in the
reign of Claudius, of whom Tacitus says
("Annals," xiii, 32) that she was accused
of "foreign superstition," that, after a
judicial inquiry, she was pronounced in
nocent, but that from that time "she
lived long life of unbroken melan-
choly." One would, of course, like to
believe that this great Roman lady was a
Christian convert, but DR.. Merivale
throws very cold water on such surmise.
He remarks that her supposed conver-
sion being in the year A. d. 81, must
have taken place four years before St.
PauPs arrival at Rome. However, it ap-
pears that in very ancient crypt, near
the Catacomb of St. Callixtus, have been
discovered the grave-stones of Pompon-
ius Graecinus, and other members of the
same family; and this, it must be admit
ted, is a striking coincidence. The crypt
itself has always been known as the Crypt
of Lucina, and De ROssi ventures on
the conjecture that Lucina may have
been the Christian name given to Pom
ponia Graecina after her conversion, al
referring to the spiritual illumination re-
ceived through baptism. He admits that
it is the merest guess; still, the discov-
cry of the name in Christian sepulcher
certainly does lend some probability tC
the idea that the wife of great Roman
General really became Christian.
