Navigius

The name of Augustine, her eldest son, will be forever associated with that of his mother.

Of the other two, Navigius and Perpetua, his sister, we know little.

Navigius, delicate in health, was of a gentle and pious nature.

Both he and Perpetua married, but the latter, after her husband's death, entered a monastery.

With her younger children, Monica had no trouble.

What am I doing here? About five days afterwards, she fell ill of a fever.

They thought she was tired with the long journey and would soon be better, but she grew worse and soon unconscious.

When she opened her eyes, Augustine and Navigius were watching by her bed.
