Jerome Flynn's middle name is Jason.
 The source for the story may actually have been the second century Roman tale of Androcles, or confusion with the exploits of Gerasimus (Jerome in later Latin is "Geronimus"); it is "a figment" found in the thirteenth-century Golden Legend by Jacobus de Voragine
In Rome, Jerome was surrounded by a circle of well-born and well-educated women, including some from the noblest patrician families
