BACK TO THE PEOPLE--INDEX

Mattathias ben Theophilus (Matthias ben Theophilus) was the Jewish High Priest in 64-68? CE.

Overview

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

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.

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.
