Antonius Felix was the Roman governor of Judea from 52-59 AD. He was the last governor under Claudius and the first under Nero. Felix was married ti Agrippa I daughter Drusilla. By all accounts he was a cruel tyrant. He oversaw the murder of the High Priest Jonathan and imprisoned the Apostle Paul.
