Who was Claudia in The Book of II Timothy?

       Claudia (II Tim. 4:21), a woman in the Christian Church at Rome, who sent her greetings through Paul to Timothy. Scholars have made several conjectures about this Claudia.
       She appears in the same passage with Pudens and Linus. Some scholars are of the opinion that she was a wife of Pudens and a mother of Linus, bishop of Rome, who was mentioned by Irenaeus, Greek Church father, and Eusebius, "father of church history." 
       Martial, Latin poet born in Spain, but a citizen of Rome from about A.D. 64 to 98, writes in an epigram of Claudia and Pudens. Some scholars conclude that they are identical with the Claudia and
Pudens mentioned in Timothy, though others question why the name of Linus comes between them.
       H. S. Jacobs, writing in the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (p. 666), says that the Apostolica Constitutions (VII, 21) name Claudia as the mother of Linus. He further comments that a passage in the Agricola by Tacitus, Roman historian, and "an inscription found in Chichester, England, have been used in favor of the further statement that this Claudia was a daughter of a British King, Cogidubnus." But Lightfoot in The Apostolic Fathers argues against the theory that Claudia and Pudens were husband and wife and that Linus was their son.
       Some authorities, with little justification, have identified this Claudia with Pilate's wife, to whom tradition has given the name of Claudia.
