Josephus relates that the battle of Actium took place in the 7th year of Herod's reign15 (Jewish Antiquities XV:121). As the war began in March 31 BCE16 and it ended with the victory of Caesar (and Agrippa) against Cleopatra (and Antony) on September 2, 31 BCE, the beginning has to be set in the 7th year which went from April 32 BCE to March 31 BCE. If we fix the end of the war in the 7th year, not the beginning, the death of Herod would be located in his 37th year between April 1 BCE and March 1 CE. Both possibilities (died on January 1 BCE or 1 CE) clearly contradict a death dated in 4 BCE.
According to Josephus, the arrival of Caesar in Syria is located after the 17th year of Herod's reign (Jewish Antiquities XV:354). He added that on this occasion Herod decided to undertake the restoration of the Temple in Jerusalem which is dated in the 18th year of his reign (Jewish Antiquities XV:380) or in the 15th year of his reign [after the death of Antigonus] (Jewish War I:401).
