Antipas (Man living at the time of the New Testament)

Antipas is named in Revelation 2:13 as a "faithful martyr" put to death at Pergamum, a city John describes as the place "where Satan's seat is," likely a reference to the imperial cult and the great altar of Zeus there. He shares his name with Herod Antipas the tetrarch, but is a distinct figure tied specifically to the church at Pergamum, not the Herodian ruler. Later Christian tradition, of uncertain reliability, identifies him as a bishop of Pergamum martyred by being burned alive inside a bronze bull under Domitian, though the New Testament itself records nothing more than his name and his faithful death.
