King Herod
King Herod, often referred to as Herod the Great, was a Roman client king of Judea, known for his monumental building projects, including the expansion of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. He ruled from 37 BCE until his death in 4 BCE and is historically noted for his tyrannical reign, as well as his notorious role in the biblical narrative of the Massacre of the Innocents, where he ordered the execution of all male infants in Bethlehem in an attempt to eliminate the newborn Jesus. His legacy is a complex mix of achievements in architecture and governance, coupled with acts of extreme violence and paranoia.
