Herod Archelaus

Herod Archelaus: Jewish leader, ruler of Samaria, Judaea, and Idumea between 4 BCE and 6 CE. His rule was disastrous and he was sent into exile by the Roman emperor Augustus.

Herod Archelaus was born in 23 BCE as the son of king Herod and his wife Malthace; he was full brother of Herod Antipas and a half brother of Philip. With these brothers, he was sent as a hostage to Rome, where he received his education. In his father's testament, Herod Archelaus was appointed king, but the Roman emperor Augustus wrote him that he had to content himself with the title of ethnarch ("national leader" ) of Samaria, Judaea and Idumea.

The new king had to face an angry crowd that demanded rehabilitation of these martyrs; so

Herod I^[a] or Herod the Great (c. 72 – c. 4 BCE) was a Roman Jewish client king of the Herodian kingdom of Judea.^[4]^[5] He is known for his colossal building projects throughout Judea. Among these works are the rebuilding of the Second Temple in Jerusalem and the expansion of its base^[7]—the Western Wall being part of it. Vital details of his life are recorded in the works of the 1st century CE Roman–Jewish historian Josephus.^[9]

Despite Herod's successes, including single-handedly forging a new aristocracy from practically nothing, he has been criticized by various historians. His reign polarizes opinion among historians, some viewing his legacy as evidence of success, and some viewing it as a reminder of his tyrannical rule.^[9]

Herod the Great is described in the Christian Bible as the coordinator of the

Not to be confused with Herod the Great or Herod Antipas.

Herod Archelaus (Ancient Greek: Ἡρῴδης Ἀρχέλαος, Hērōidēs Archelaos; 23 BC – c. AD 18) was the ethnarch^[1]^[2] of Samaria, Judea, and Idumea, including the cities Caesarea and Jaffa, for nine years^[3] (c. 4 BC to AD 6). He was the son of Herod the Great and Malthace the Samaritan, brother of Herod Antipas, and half-brother of Herod II. Archelaus (a name meaning "leading the people") came to power after the death of his father Herod the Great in 4 BC, and ruled over one-half of the territorial dominion of his father. Archelaus was removed by the Roman emperorAugustus when Judaea province was formed under direct Roman rule, at the time of the Census of Quirinius.
