* Pope Anicetus succeeds Pope Pius I as the eleventh pope.

* Pope Soter succeeds Pope Anicetus as the twelfth pope.

* Pope Anicetus ( or 157 or 168 )

Pope Saint Anicetus was Pope of the Catholic Church from about 150 to about 167 ( the Vatican's list cites 150 to 167 or 153 to 168 ).

His contemporary Hegesippus wrote that he was a deacon of the Roman Church under Pope Anicetus ( c. 154 – 164 ), and remained so under Pope Soter, whom he succeeded in about 174.

The date of Hegesippus is insecurely fixed by the statement of Eusebius that the death and apotheosis of Antinous ( 130 ) occurred in Hegesippus ' lifetime, and that he came to Rome under Pope St. Anicetus and wrote in the time of Pope St. Eleuterus ( Bishop of Rome, ca 174-189 ).

He seems to have lived in some part of the East, for, in the time of Pope Anicetus ( A. D. 155-166 ) he travelled through Corinth to reach Rome, collecting on the spot the teachings of the various churches which he visited, and ascertaining their uniformity with Rome, according to this excerpt:

Valentinus taught first in Alexandria and went to Rome about 136 AD, during the pontificate of Pope Hyginus, and remained until the pontificate of Pope Anicetus.
