According to Christian tradition, Pilate's Wife (Procula, or Claudia) tried to save Jesus of Nazareth at his trial.

Overview

Pilate's wife is known only by one verse in the Gospel of Matthew.

Later Christian tradition (Acts of Pilate) would give her a name, Procula, speculating on her relation with Jesus and her conversion to Christianity. The chronicle of Pseudo-Dexter (1619) is the first place known where she is referred to as Claudia.
