1/2 Prutah - Herod Archelaus

Archelaus inherited roughly half of Herod the Great's kingdom in 4 BC — Judaea, Samaria, and Idumaea — but was denied the title of king by Augustus, who made him ethnarch pending a demonstration of competent rule. He never got there. A joint delegation of Jews and Samaritans, two groups who agreed on almost nothing, traveled to Rome to petition for his removal. Augustus exiled him to Vienne in Gaul in 6 AD, at which point his territory became the Roman province of Judaea under direct prefectural administration.
