Editing Herod the Great (section)

== Herod and Augustus ==
The relationship between Herod and Augustus demonstrates the fragile politics of a deified Emperor and a King who ruled over the Jewish people and their holy lands. As they interacted, Herod's desire to satisfy both the Jewish and non-Jewish people of his kingdom had to be balanced with satisfying Augustus' aim to spread the culture, architecture and values of Rome throughout his empire. The sway of Augustus and the [[Roman Empire]] on the policy led to the use of Romanized construction throughout Herod's Kingdom. An example of Herod's architectural expansion of [[Judaea (Roman province)|Judea]] in devotion to Rome can be seen with the third temple he commissioned, the [[Augusteum]], a temple dedicated to Augustus.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Berlin |first=Andrea M. |year=2015 |script-title=he:הורדוסאוגוסטוס והאוגוסטיאום בפניון |trans-title=Herod, Augustus, and the Augusteum at the Paneion |journal=Eretz-Israel: Archaeological, Historical and Geographical Studies |language=he |volume=לא |pages=1–11 |issn=0071-108X |jstor=24433087 |script-journal=he:ארץ-ישראל: מחקרים בידיעת הארץ ועתיקותיה}}</ref>
