Sosianus Hierokles
Tampilan
Sossianus Hierocles (dikenal pada tahun 303) adalah seorang aristokrat dan pemegang jabatan Romawi. Ia menjabat sebagai praeses di Siria di bawah pemerintahan Diokletianus pada 290an. Ia kemudian menjadi vicarius di beberapa distrik, mungkin Keuskupan Timur (yang meliputi Siria, Palestina, dan pada waktu itu, Mesir) sampai 303, saat ia dipindahkan ke Bitinia. Ia dikenal karena aktivitas anti-Kristennya di Bitinia. Dalam Sejarah Kuno Cambridge, ia disebut "salah satu penganiaya paling bersemangat".[1] Saat di Bitinia, Hierokles mengarang Pecinta Kepercayaan (Yunani: Φιλαλήθης, Philalethes; yang juga dikenal sebagai Φιλαλήθης λόγος, Philalethes logos), sebuah kritikan terhadap agama Kristen.
