Résumé:Herod the Great was King of Judea, confirmed in power with the aid of Rome. He was a spectacular builder who created monumental architecture in his own country and beyond. He was regarded as a friend of Rome and a foreigner by his people, but he desired to impress his subjects and leave his mark on history. He built a cosmopolitan city in Jerusalem and developed and extended the Temple Mount. He replaced the Temple completely without losing a single day of sacrifice. The Temple Mount is today a testament to his ability.
