Athronges
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Athronges (likely derived from ethrog, "citron") was a leader of the Jews during the insurrection under Herod Archelaus. A shepherd, in common with his four brothers after proclaiming himself a messiah, Athronges led the rebellion against Archelaus and the Romans[1]. After a protracted struggle Athronges and his brothers were defeated.[2]
