Mattathias ben Theophilus was appointed High Priest by [[Herod Agrippa II]], succeeding [[Joshua ben Gamaliel]], when Roman Governor [[Florus]] took office under Emperor [[Nero]].
Matthias ben Theophilus was appointed High Priest in 5 BCE by [[Herod Agrippa II]], succeeding [[Simon ben Boethus]].


Mattathias 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 was eventually replaced by [[Joazar ben Boethus]] in 4 BCE.  


Mattathias 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. Mattathias was eventually replaced by [[Phannias ben Samuel]] when the Zealots in 68 CE annihilated the entire moderate leadership of the revolt.
