Herod: King of the Jews and Friend of the Romans examines the life,
work, and influence of this controversial figure, who remains the
most highly visible of the Roman client kings under Augustus.
Herod's rule shaped the world in which Christianity arose and his
influence can still be seen today. In this expanded second edition,
additions to the original text include discussion of the
archaeological evidence of Herod's activity, his building program,
numismatic evidence, and consideration of the roles and activities
of other client kings in relation to Herod. This volume includes
new maps and numerous photographs, and these coupled with the new
additions to the text make this a valuable tool for those
interested in the wider Roman world of the late first century BCE
at both under- and postgraduate levels. Herod remains the
definitive study of the life and activities of the king known
traditionally as Herod the Great.
