Herod the Great: Architectural Grandeur and the Shadows of His Legacy
Herod the Great—master builder of Judea—left behind palaces, fortresses, and temples that still stand as silent witnesses to an era of ambition and splendour. This book explores these monumental structures, setting the stage for Agrippa I’s reign—a ruler whose choices diverged from Herod’s and whose mysterious death hints at a true crime tale.
