Herod I of Judea (c. 74 or 73 BCE – c. 4 BCE or 1 BCE), also known as Herod the Great, was the Roman client king of Judea from 37 BCE until his death.
History
His rule was considered tyrannical, and he was opposed by the Hidden Ones. In addition, the Roman general Gaius Julius Rufio made plans to visit Herod in the hopes of securing an alliance with Cleopatra and Marcus Antonius. In 38 BCE, Kawab, having just joined the Hidden Ones, made preparations to travel to Judea to help deal with Herod.
