Married to Chrysanthus who convinced her to live with him in a chaste state. They tried to convert to christian-ism a number of Romans. When this illegal act was made known to Claudius, Chrysanthus was arrested and tortured. Daria was sent to live as a prostitute, but her chastity was defended by a lion. She was brought before Numerian and ordered to be executed by stoning and then burial alive in a deep pit beside her husband.
