Hippolytus of Rome, a notable Christian theologian and Bishop of Rome in the second to third centuries, had uncertain origins and affiliations. Various theories propose he was a disciple of Irenaeus or a rival to the bishop of Rome. He was linked to the Novatianist schism and faced martyrdom during Severus Alexander’s rule. Despite past conflicts with Roman Popes, he later reconciled with the Church before his passing.
