Antigonus II Mattathias (,
Matityahu), also known as
Antigonus the Hasmonean (died 37 BCE) was the last
Hasmonean king of
Judea. He was the son of King
Aristobulus II of Judea. In 37 BCE Herod handed him over to the Romans for execution, after Antigonus' three-year reign during which he led the
Jews' fierce struggle for independence against the Romans.
