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). For a full account of various identifications and literature, see art._ Claudia.
