Herodian architecture
Herodian architecture is a style of classical architecture characteristic of the numerous building projects undertaken during the reign (37–4 BC) of Herod the Great, the Roman client king of Judea. Herod undertook many colossal building projects, most famously his reconstruction of the Temple in Jerusalem (c. 19 BC). Many of his structures were built upon comparable, previous Hasmonean buildings and most of his have, in their turn, vanished as well.
==Innovations==
Herod introduced numerous architectural innovations and construction techniques in his buildings, such as the domes inside the Double Gate to the Temple Mount. He adapted the ''mikveh'' — a Jewish ritual bath — for use as the frigidarium in the Roman-style bathhouses in his many palaces. Herod also developed an innovative combination of palace and fortress; examples include the Antonia Fortress in Jerusalem, the Herodium in the Judean Desert about 2 miles south of Bethlehem, and Masada. Characteristically, they have (or had) one tower higher and stronger than the others. Herod’s fortification innovations strongly influenced the military architecture of subsequent generations.
In line with contemporary Jewish customs, Herod generally avoided the representation of human and animal figures, even in the closed and private parts of his palaces.〔A few exceptions are recorded. Herod's Palace reportedly had bronze figures (probably animals) through which water was dispensed. (Levine, p. 200 cf. Josephus, War. 5.4) More notably, near the end of his reign, Herod erected a golden eagle above the gate of the Temple. The outrage this caused within the city was demonstrated when several youths removed and destroyed the eagle. They were subsequently executed. (Levine, p. 180 cf. Josephus, Ant. 17.6)〕
