We do not know defintely where Sophia was born but she and her three daughters (Faith, Hope and Charity) were purportedly taken prisoners during the reign of Hadrian (117-138) and taken to Rome. Sophia was forced to watch as her three daughters were tortured and beheaded. She died three days later while mourning her children at their tomb. She was probably born in the late first century AD.
We are not even certain if Sophia really ever existed, much less when or where she might have been born.
