The Herodian dynasty was a dynasty which ruled over the Roman client state of Judea from 37 BC to 44 AD. It was founded when Herod the Great was installed as King of the Jews by the Roman Senate, ending the Hasmonean dynasty. Following the death of Herod in 4 BC, his kingdom was divided into a tetrarchy, with Herod Archelaus reigning as ethnarch, Herod Antipas and Philip the Tetrarch as tetrarchs in inheritance, and Salome I as a toparch. In 6 AD, the Roman Republic annexed Judea as "Judaea", and, upon Salome's death in 10 AD, her lands were also annexed. Following Agrippa's death in 44 AD, the entirety of the Herodian dynasty's lands were incorporated as Roman lands.
