King Herod the Great (jan 1, 37 BC – jan 1, 1 BC)

Description:

See "Herod the Great"

While the date of Herod’s death is a debated one, there is considerable evidence pointing to 1 B.C.E.

Now, Josephus says that Herod died 37 years from the time that he was appointed king by the Romans, and 34 years after he took Jerusalem. (Jewish Antiquities, XVII, 190, 191 [viii, 1]) This might indicate that the date of his death was 2 or perhaps 1 B.C.E
