Died: 4 B.C.E. Jericho, Judea. King of Judea. Herod the Great, king of Judea, was an example of a class of princes who kept their thrones by balancing the delicate relations with the Roman Empire. Herod's much-criticized relationship with Rome would keep Judea safe and establish a Jewish state.
Herod was a certified madman, but had moments of genuine concern for the country. In the end, though, his legacy was one of paranoia, terror, murder and evil. The end of the era of the Hasmoneans is probably the most turbulent time in Jewish history.
