Historical background
JUDAEA - AGRIPPA II
(48-95)
Agrippa II or Herod Agrippa is the son of Agrippa I, the grandson of Aristobulus and the great-grandson of Herod the Great. Born in 30, he spent his adolescence in Rome. In 48, thanks to the benevolence of Claudius, he succeeded his uncle, Herod, at the head of the kingdom of Chalcis. In 53, he exchanged this territory with that of his great-uncle Philippe (Tetrarch). Covered with honors during the reigns of Claudius and Nero, superintendent of the temple, he displeased the Jews. During the Judean uprising in 66, he rallied the Roman cause and gave his support to Vespasian, general-in-chief, then after the latter's departure for Rome, to his son Titus. Agrippa II's sister, Berenice, fell in love with Titus, and their love was immortalized by Corneille and Racine. After the fall of Jerusalem in 70, he shared the rest of his life between Rome and its territories. The date of his death is poorly known, but he disappears from history at the end of the reign of Domitian.
