Caesaria The Elder
Caesaria the Elder or Caesaria II (died c. 530) was a saint and abbess. Little is known about her, but there were some "glowing" references to her in the writings of Venantius Fortunatus; according to Gregory of Tours, her life was "blessed and holy". She was born in a Gallo-Roman family and was trained at John Cassian's foundation in Marseilles.McNamara, p. 112 Caesaria was the first abbess of convent of Saint-Jean, which was founded by her brother, Caesarius of Arles.

Caesaria The Younger
Caesaria the Younger or Caesaria II (died ) was the abbess of Saint-Jean d'Arles from around 525 until her death. Life Caesaria was a relative of Bishop Caesarius of Arles, probably a niece.

She was appointed by Caesarius, who issued a revised rule for the convent on 22 June 534 granting the nuns the right to elect their abbess in the future. Around the same time, he made his last will and testament, in which he bequeathed Caesaria a cloak which she had previously made for him. Sometime after Caesarius's death in 542, Caesaria commissioned Cyprian of Toulon to write his biography. She may have intended it to counter the influence of a new monastery founded by Aurelian of Arles in 547. Cyprian describes her abbacy thus: "Her work with her companions is so outstanding that in the midst of psalms and fasts, vigils and readings, the virgins of Christ beautifully copy out the holy books, with their mother hers ...
