Flavia Domitilla (Catholic Saint)
Flavia Domitilla was a Roman noblewoman of the 1st century. She was a granddaughter of Emperor Vespasian and a niece of Emperors Titus and Domitian. She married her cousin, the consul Titus Flavius Clemens, a grand-nephew of Vespasian through his father Titus Flavius Sabinus. There is disagreement about whether the Flavia Domitilla mentioned in certain fourth-century and later Christian writings is the same person or another. Biography Early life Flavia Domitilla was the daughter of Domitilla the Younger by an unknown father, perhaps Quintus Petillius Cerialis whom her mother had two sons with. Marriage and children A contemporary inscription indicates that Flavia Domitilla and her husband Titus Flavius Clemens had seven children, who were thus grandnephews and grandnieces of Domitian. Suetonius, who was born in 69 and thus a contemporary, states that Domitian designated as the emperor's successors two very young sons of Flavius Clemens, and changed their names to Domit ...

Mamilla ( he, ממילא) is a neighbourhood of Jerusalem that was established in the late 19th century outside the Old City, west of the Jaffa Gate.
