For two thousand years Herod has been called 'great', yet very little is known, though much has been recorded, of this strange historic character. Herod was born as a younger son of an obscure Arab civil servant on the very edge of the Levant, but went on to become one of the most glittering figures of one of the most colourful periods of human history. He was to be the friend - and enemy - of Anthony, of Cleopatra, of Augustus' great minister Vipsanius Agrippa, indeed of Augustus himself. A familiar and popular figure in Rome and Athens, Herod was the ruler of the kingdom into which Jesus of Nazareth was born. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram.
