(i) The history of’ Herod when the Romans appointed him king- over the Jews, and his departure from Rome with an army to fight against the Holy House.
1 Augustus and the senate, informed of what Antigonus had done, with one consent appointed Herod king over the Jews ; commanding him to 2 put a golden diadem on his head, and to mount a horse, and that it should be proclaimed by trumpets preceding him, “Herod is king over the Jews and the holy city Jerusalem” : which was done. And returning to Augustus, he rode, and 3 Augustus, and Antony; and they went to Antony’s house, who had invited the senate and all the citizens of Rome to a banquet which he had prepared. And they did eat and drink, and rejoiced over 4 p. 399 Herod with great joy, making with him a treaty engraven in tables of brass ; and it was placed in 5 the temples. And they inscribed that day as the first of Herod’s reign, and from that time it was taken for an aera, by which times are counted.
