Aelia EudociaEUDOCIA (Aelia) - Originally named Athenais, she was the daughter of the Athenian sophist Leontius, but changed her name to Aelia Eudocia shortly before her marriage to Theodosius the Second in A.D.421. She exercised considerable political influence for a time, but, around A.D 444, Pulcheria had her exiled to Jerusalem (perhaps on charges of adultery). She spent the rest of her life in religious pursuits, erecting churches and monasteries, and when she died on October 20th, A.D.460, she was buried in the church of St. Stephen, one of those she herself had founded. She was later made a saint and her image appears on icons.DICTIONARY OF ROMAN| COINS|
