JULIA,
A virgin and martyr of Carthage. At the sack of Carthage by Genseric, King of the Vandals, Julia was sold to a heathen merchant, and carried to Syria. Here she was discovered to be a Christian, by her refusal to take a part in some of the festivals instituted in honour of the female deities, and was put to death, in 440.
