She served a Roman patrician, and when she disobeyed her mistress by fasting, she was whipped and given to a soldier for further abuse. She suffered horrible tortures before being allowed to escape by a him; although she later died a natural death, the Roman Martyrology deems her a martyr due to the sufferings she withstood during her life. > Well, the Roman Martyrology so deemed her prior to its revision of 2001. The RM then ceased to commemorate her, at least under this name. It's long been recognized that the early Passio of _Maria ancilla V. M._ (BHL 5422) is very similar to the Greek one of the Phrygian martyr Ariadne / Ariadna of Prymnessos, whom at least one synaxary notice says is also called Maria and whom the RM, without saying anything about this other name, now commemorates on 18. September (prior to 2001: 17. September).
