Eumenes of Alexandria was the seventh Patriarch of Alexandria, serving as a prominent Christian leader in Roman Egypt from 129 to 141. He was elected to this position in July 129 during the reign of Emperor Hadrian. Before becoming the head of the church in Alexandria, he held the role of Dean of the Catechetical School, succeeding Justus. His leadership occurred during a period of intense Christian persecution, which resulted in numerous martyrs within the region.
