Strong's Lexicon anthupatos: Proconsul Original Word: ἀνθύπατος Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine Transliteration: anthupatos Pronunciation: an-thoo'-pa-tos Phonetic Spelling: (anth-oo'-pat-os) Definition: Proconsul Meaning: a proconsul. Word Origin: From Greek ἀντί (anti, meaning "against" or "in place of") and ὕπατος (hupatos, meaning "highest" or "supreme") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "anthupatos" as it is a term specific to the Roman governmental system, which did not have a direct counterpart in ancient Hebrew governance. Usage: The term "anthupatos" refers to a proconsul, a high-ranking official in the Roman government who governed a senatorial province. Proconsuls were appointed by the Roman Senate and held significant authority, often serving as the chief magistrate in their respective regions. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Roman Empire, provinces were divided into senatorial and imperial provinces. Senatorial provinces were governed by proconsuls, who were former consuls of Rome. These officials were responsible for maintaining law and order, collecting taxes, and overseeing the administration of justice. The role of a proconsul was crucial in maintaining the stability and governance of the Roman territories.
