Pope Anterus, the 19th Pope (Reign: November 21, 235 - January 3, 236), succeeded Pope Pontian, who had been deported from Rome along with the antipope Hippolytus to Sardinia. It is claimed he was martyred,<ref>Marucchi, 2003, p. 48.</ref> but there is little evidence for this and it is more likely that he died in undramatic circumstances during the persecutions of Maximinus the Thracian.<ref>Levillain, 2002, p. 557; p. 63.</ref> He was buried in the papal crypt of the cemetery of St. Callixtus in Rome and later made a saint. Anterus, who was pope for only one month and ten days, is thought to have been of Greek origin, but the name could indicate that he was a freed slave.<ref>Levillain, 2002, p. 63.</ref>
