Herod Antipas (short for Antipatros) (20 BC - after 39 AD) was an ancient leader (tetrarch, meaning "ruler of a quarter") of Galilee and Perea. Antipas was a son of Herod the Great, who had become king of Judea and Malthace, who was from Samaria. He and full-brother Archelaus and his half-brother Herod Philip I were educated in Rome, as a kind of friendly hostage situation in order to maintain Herod the Great's compliance with Augustus Caesar.
