"Aelia Eudocia Augusta (/ˈiːliə juːˈdoʊʃə ɔːˈɡʌstə/; Late Greek: Αἰλία Εὐδοκία Αὐγούστα; c. 401 – 460 AD), also called Saint Eudocia, was a Greek Eastern Roman Empress by marriage to Byzantine emperor Theodosius II (r. 408–450), and a prominent historical figure in understanding the rise of Christianity. Eudocia lived in a world where Greek paganism and Christianity existed side-by-side with both pagans and non-orthodox Christians being persecuted. Although Eudocia´s work has been mostly ignored by modern scholars, her poetry and literary work are great examples of how her Christian faith and Greek heritage were intertwined, exemplifying a legacy that the Roman Empire bequeathed on the Christian world." - (en.wikipedia.org 21.12.2019)
