Herod Built Extravagantly to Hide Savagery
A vivid portrait of Herod the Great and his Judean regime under Rome. Spies, assassins, and religious zeal clash with lavish building projects and public spectacles as Josephus-era cruelty spreads through Jerusalem, temple life, and the wider empire. The Magi warn, arrests rise, and fear grips the palace as plans unfold.
