Sts. Nereus and Achilleus were servants of St. Flavia Domitilla. She was the wife of consul Flavius Clemens, cousin of Emperor Domitian. She died in exile on the island of Pandataria. Her granddaughter, likewise Domitilla, also died in exile on the island of Pontia. The virgin whose feast is celebrated today is the second Domitilla.
