The Palace

In the year 40 B.C.E. Syria was seized from the Romans and occupied by their determined rivals, the Parthians. This event was exploited by the Hasmonean prince Mattathias Antygonus, who collaborated with the Parthians to replace his uncle, Hyrcanus II. While Hyrcanus and Phasael supported Antygonus and the Parthians, Herod escaped from Jerusalem under cover of darkness with his close family but was soon pursued by Antygonus and his followers; the two forces confronted one another at a remote location in the Judean desert, but not far from the Jewish Village of Tekoa. This was to be the site that Herod chose this site, as the place where his fortunes improved, to build his palace, Herodion.
