Person
Clement of Rome
late first century
A leading presbyter or bishop in Rome
Attested. The letter is early and Roman. Clement's exact office is inferred.
A letter from the Roman church to Corinth, called 1 Clement, was written in his time and was later treated as his. It shows a Roman community already advising another church about order. Later lists make him an early bishop of Rome. That title is anachronistic if it means a monarchic pope.
