The identity, life, and writings of Hippolytus continue to pose challenges to scholars. Probably of Eastern extraction, he became a member of the Roman clergy and distinguished himself as the foremost writer of the Roman church in the third century. He opposed Pope Callistus I and was elected antipope in 217. He reconciled with Callistus's successor Pontian while both he and Pontian were in exile in Sardinia, and resigned as antipope. He and Pontian both died in Sardinia)
