Saint Symphorosa (Italian: Simforosa, Sinforosa) (d. ca. 138 AD) is venerated as a Christian saint. According to tradition, she was martyred with her seven sons at Tibur (Tivoli) towards the end of the reign of Emperor Hadrian (117-138). The story of their martyrdom is told in an old Passio, the reliability of which is seriously questioned by many modern hagiologists. According to this Passio, Symphorosa was a lady living at Tibur, the widow of the tribune, St. Getulius, who had previously been martyred by Emperor Hadrian at Gabii, now Torri, a town of the Sabines.
