The remarkable Herodian dynasty flourished from the second century BCE to the second century CE. This book examines its origins, measures its impact on Jewish society, and discusses the influence it exerted beyond Judaea. It argues that the Herodian dynasty played a central part in the workings of the Eastern Roman Empire. This book encompasses many ideas which open up a dimension through which the history of the Second Temple Period, Judaism and Early Christianity can be viewed anew.
