	~~'''Phannias ben Samuel''' (Phanasus, Phanni) was the last Jewish High Priest in 68?-70? during the [[Jewish War]].~~

	~~==Overview==~~

	~~''Phannias ben Samuel'' was appointed High Priest by lot by the Zealots who had taken control of the Temple, succeeding [[Matthias ben Theophilus]].~~

	The appointment of a new high priest intended to signal the complete independence of the Temple from any external authority, in particular from [[Herod Agrippa II]] who had sided with the Romans. The decision to choose the high priest by lot, however, represented a dramatic tear also with the moderate leadership of the revolt, led by the former high priests [[Ananus ben Ananus]] and [[Joshua ben Gamaliel]]. According to Josephus, who voiced the traditional priestly point of view, Phannias was not from high-priestly stock and was completely unqualified and unprepared for the office. Phannias was indeed an Aaronite and then formally eligible for the office; the problem was that his election "disannulled the succession, according to those families out of which the high priests used to be made."
