|
||||
* Herod Antipas ruled one-fourth of the Roman Empire and so he was also called "Herod the tetrarch."
|
||||
* 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.
|
||||
