Matthias ben Theophilus was appointed High Priest by [[Herod Agrippa II]], succeeding [[Joshua ben Gamaliel]], when Roman Governor [[Florus]] took office under Emperor [[Nero]].


Matthias might be the son of [[Theophilius ben Ananus]] and then the grandson of [[Annas]], but ancient sources are silent about his ties with the powerful family of High Priests.

Matthias is quite an obscure character. Apparently, he remained, at least formally, in office even during the first years of the Jewish revolt, when however former High Priest [[Ananus ben Ananus]] took a much more active role. Matthias was eventually replaced by [[Phannias ben Samuel]] when the Zealots in 68 CE annihilated the entire moderate leadership of the revolt.
