The
Herodian Dynasty was a
Judean dynasty of
Idumaean/Edomite descent. The Herodian dynasty began with
Herod the Great, who assumed the throne of Judea, with Roman support, bringing down the century long
Hasmonean Kingdom. His
kingdom lasted until his death in 4 BCE, when it was divided between his sons as a
Tetrarchy, which lasted for about 10 years. Most of those kingdoms, including Judea proper, were incorporated into
Judaea Province in 6 CE, though limited Herodian kingship continued in Northern Levant until 92, when the last Herodian monarch,
Agrippa II, died and Rome assumed full power over his domain.
