| Additional information |
Herod Archelaus ruled Judaea as ethnarch rather than king — a deliberate demotion by Augustus, who refused him the royal title his father Herod the Great had held. The designation reflected Roman distrust from the outset, and it proved justified: in 6 AD, after a joint delegation of Jews and Samaritans petitioned Rome over his brutality, Augustus exiled him to Vienne in Gaul, replacing his territory with the directly administered province of Judaea under a Roman prefect.
His coinage consequently spans barely a decade of production.
