Apostolic throne

In Christianity, the concept of an apostolic throne refers to one of the historic patriarchates that was associated with a specific apostle. Not all of the apostles are associated with specific "thrones"; in general, the phrase applies to apostles who presided over a specific geographic church. Notably, there is no apostolic throne associated with St. Paul, who along with St. Peter was present, at different times, in both Antioch and Rome (where both Peter and Paul were crucified). The phrase is also somewhat interchangeable with an "apostolic see".
