Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus...
Romans 16:3 ESV

Priscilla and Aquila were a wife and husband missionary team who often worked alongside Paul. Aquila was a Jew from the region of Pontus on the southern coast of the Black Sea. He and Priscilla had been residents of Rome at the time Claudius expelled the Jews, but lived for some years in Corinth where they met Paul on one of his earlier missionary journeys. They may have initially become acquainted because of their common trade as tentmakers.

They later left Corinth with Paul but stayed in Ephesus where they seem to have owned a second home (see v4) and began hosting the local assembly. See Acts 18. Sometime between AD 54, when Claudius died, and AD 57, when Paul wrote the letter to the Romans, they returned to Rome.

They appear to have been wealthy and connected, which makes me think they were most likely engaged more in the Mediterranean textile trade than in the hands-on process of making tents.
