Herod Antipas

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

Herod Antipas (21 BC–AD 39)

Tetrarch (governor) of the Roman province of Galilee, northern Palestine, 4 BC–AD 39, son of Herod the Great. He divorced his wife to marry his niece Herodias, and was responsible for the death of John the Baptist. Jesus was brought before him on Pontius Pilate's discovery that he was a Galilean and hence of Herod's jurisdiction, but Herod returned him without giving any verdict. In AD 38 Herod Antipas went to Rome to try to persuade Emperor Caligula to give him the title of king, but was instead banished.

Remains of one of his royal palaces were excavated at Masada 1963–64. There were important finds of ancient texts, mosaic floors, decorated walls of the royal palace, and reservoirs.
