Published to accompany the groundbreaking exhibition Herod the Great: The King’s Final Journey at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem (January 2013), this monumental volume is the first publication fully dedicated to Herod the Great. Known both as the greatest builder of the Holy Land and one of the most debated figures in Jewish history, Herod (74 BCE–4 BCE) left behind architectural achievements and cultural legacies that continue to spark fascination.
Through essays, archaeological studies, and richly illustrated chapters, the book explores Herod’s reign, his ties with Rome, the complexities of his family life, and the historical perceptions of his rule. Leading scholars from Israel and abroad contribute their expertise, while the archaeological sections highlight the distinctive style of Herodian architecture with its decorative features and innovative building methods. The publication is filled with rare drawings and striking photographs of artifacts and architectural remains, many presented here for the first time. Together, they offer new insights into Herod’s world, his monuments, and his role in shaping the history of the region.
Israel's largest cultural institution, the Israel Museum, based in the Holy City of Jerusalem, is dedicated to recording and safeguarding the relics that chronicle the tale of the Jewish people. Housing thousands of years of ancient artifacts pertaining to Jewish culture all over the world, the Israel Museum’s mission is to educate and encourage knowledge of Judaism’s rich and fascinating history to people all over the globe. One of their methods of fulfilling this dream is to create stunning replicas and adaptations of the original pieces in their encyclopedic collections and distribute them worldwide. With each captivating replication comes its own certification of authenticity, as well as a brief summary of that piece’s historical background in both Hebrew and English.
