Antonius Felix (possibly Tiberius Claudius Antonius Felix,[1] in Greek: ὁ Φῆλιξ; born c. 5–10) was the fourth Roman procurator of Judea Province in 52–60, in succession to Ventidius Cumanus. He appears in the New Testament in Acts 23 and 24, where the Apostle Paul is brought before him for a trial.[2]
