* Like his father Herod the Great, Antipas was sometimes referred to as “King Herod” even though he was not really a king.
* Herod Antipas ruled about one-fourth of the provinces of Israel, so he was also called “Herod the tetrarch.” “Tetrarch” was a title for a person who ruled one-fourth of a country.
* Antipas is the “Herod” who gave the order for John the Baptist to be killed by beheading.
