Herodian Kingdom of Judea at its greatest extent (4 BCE)

Summary

[edit]
Title
Herodian Kingdom of Judea at its greatest extent
Description
English: In 32 BCE Octavian defeated Mark Antony at Actium, and Herod, having made his peace with the victor, was confirmed as King, and had Jericho restored to him along with Gadara, Samaria, Gaza, Anthedon (rebuilt as Agrippias, in order to control with Gaza the Nabataean trade), Joppa, Straton’s Tower, and probably Ashdod and Jamnia, while Askalon and Dora remained free. In 27 BCE he rebuilt Samaria under the name Sebaste, and in 25 began at Straton’s Tower the harbour and town which he named Caesarea. In 23 BCE Augustus gave Herod Trachonitis and Batanea, and in 20 BCE, the domains of Zenodorus between Trachon and Galilee, containing Ulatha and Paneas. His brother Pheroras became Tetrarch of Perea. In 9 BCE, Herod subdued the Arabs of Trachonitis at Raepta, and built a fortresses in Batanaea and a village, Bathyra thus subduing and in part civilising the whole region. In 4 BCE, after a vain attempt of a cure in the waters of Callirrhoe, Herod died. His other buildings were the fortresses of Alexandrium, Herodium, Masada, Machaerus and Hyrkania. He also strengthened Heshbon in Perea and Gabae in Jezreel Valley; rebuilt Kephar Saba under the name Antipatris, and founded Phasaelis in the Jordan valley.
