أمبلياتوس

Ampliatus was a believer in Rome to whom Paul sent warm greetings in Romans 16:8, describing him as 'my beloved in the Lord.' The name Ampliatus was common among slaves and freedmen in the Roman world, and early Christian inscriptions in the Domitilla catacomb in Rome include the name 'Ampliatus' in a prominently decorated tomb, suggesting the person may have been an early Roman Christian of humble social origin but honored status in the community. Paul's affectionate description—'my beloved'—indicates a close personal bond, though the circumstances of their acquaintance are unknown.
