FELIX—PROCURATOR OF JUDEA

In about 52 C.E., Roman Emperor Claudius appointed one of his favorites, Antonius Felix, as procurator, or governor, of Judea. Like his brother Pallas, Felix was a freed slave of the emperor’s family. The appointment of a freedman to the post of procurator with a military command was unprecedented.

Because of his brother’s influence with the emperor, Felix “believed that he could commit all kinds of enormities with impunity,” states Roman historian Tacitus. As procurator, Felix “practised every kind of cruelty and lust, wielding the power of king with all the instincts of a slave.” During his tenure as procurator, Felix married Drusilla, daughter of Herod Agrippa I, after seducing her away from her husband. Felix treated the apostle Paul in a corrupt and illegal manner, considering him a likely source of a bribe.

Felix’s administration was so corrupt and oppressive that Emperor Nero recalled him in 58 C.E. A deputation of Jews followed Felix to Rome to accuse him of misgovernment, but Pallas reportedly saved his brother from punishment.
