<p> (Πούδης) </p> <p> [[Pudens]] was a [[Christian]] of Rome who along with Eubulus, Claudia, and [[Linus]] sends greetings to Timothy ( 2 Timothy 4:21). He was thus on intimate terms with the apostle Paul at the time of his last Roman imprisonment. Nothing certain is known regarding him. He is supposed by many to have been the husband of the [[Claudia]] of the same verse and has been identified with the Pudens of Martial’s Epigrams, whose wife also bore the name Claudia (Epigr. iv. 13, xi. 54).

<p> ''''' pū´denz ''''' , ''''' pū´dens ''''' ( Πούδης , <i> ''''' Poúdēs ''''' </i> , literally, "bashful" ( 2 Timothy 4:21 )): </p> 1. [[Faithful]] to Paul: <p> One of the [[Christians]] in Rome who remained loyal to Paul during his second and last imprisonment there, when most of the members of the church "forsook him." The pressure under which they acted must have been very great, as the apostle's final trial before the supreme court of the empire followed quickly after the Neronic persecution. Their defection from their loyalty to Paul must not be taken as implying that they had also proved untrue to Christ. At this time, however, there were some of the Christians who risked their earthly all, and their lives too, in order to prove their adherence to Paul, and Pudens was one of these. </p> 2. Pudens and Claudia: <p> Writing the last of all his letters, the Second [[Epistle]] to Timothy, Paul sends greeting from "all the brethren" who were then with him. Among these he names Pudens. There are three other names associated by the apostle with that of Pudens: Eubulus, Linus and Claudia. There is an interesting conjecture regarding Pudens and Claudia, that their were husband and wife, and that Claudia was of British birth, a daughter of a British king, called Cogidunus. King Cogidunus was an ally of the Romans, and assumed the name of the emperor [[Tiberius]] Claudius, who was his patron. In this way his daughter would be named Claudia. But this identification of the British princess with the Claudia who sends salutation to Timothy is only a supposition; it lacks both evidence and proof.
