The Wheel of the Dharma represents the wheel of life -- otherwise known as "samsara". In the older Buddhist traditions there is a belief in cyclic rebirth and the wheel is often tied to that concept. The wheel is also sometimes tied to the Buddha's description of Dependent Origination which is a detailing of how we cause our own suffering, but it should be noted that there are no descriptions in the Pali canon of Dependent Origination as a wheel -- it is more like a 12-linked chain of events which never goes from step 12 back around to step 1.
Catherine of Alexandria, also known as Catherine of the Wheel, died by beheading about 305 A.D. in Alexandria, Egypt. She had been sentenced to die on the wheel but it burst into flames as was not usable. The precise date is not known.
