Summary
Updated 2026-06-08

A papacy that lasted six weeks. Anterus held the seat of Rome through the final days of 235 and into early January 236, then died — whether from persecution, illness, or the simple precarity of leading Christians under an empire that had no love for them.

Biography

About

Anterus became bishop of Rome on 21 November 235, stepping into a role that was as dangerous as it was sacred. The empire was no friend to the church, and his tenure would be measured not in years but in weeks. He died on 3 January 236, forty-three days after he began. What he did in that sliver of time, or what happened to him, the record doesn't say. He is remembered mostly for how brief the window was.
