While he was suffering from the tortures, the sixteen-year-old wife of another soldier, named Corona or Stephanie (or "Stefania" or "Stephana", from Greek , "stéphanos", "crown", the Greek version of her Latin name, which also means "crown") comforted and encouraged him. For this, she was arrested and interrogated. According to the "passio" of Corona, Corona was bound to two bent palm trees and torn apart as the trunks were released; the "passio" is considered largely fictional, and she herself may also be fictional. Other sources state that Victor and Corona were husband and wife.
