Felicitas of Rome (c. 101 – 165) is a saint numbered among the Christian martyrs. Apart from her name the only thing known for certain about this martyr is that she was buried in the Cemetery of Maximus on the Via Salaria on a 23 November. However a legend presents her as the mother of the seven martyrs whose feast is celebrated on 10 July.
