Recent studie have permitted greater certainty regarding the architectural evolution of the Temple of the Jews in Jerusalem. The Solomonic Temple had been rebuilt twice before it was greatly extended by Herod the Great. Archaeological evidence shows that he extended the previous Temple on the northern, western, and southern sides. After being destroyed by the Romans, this temple remained in ruins until the site was appropriated by the caliph Omar in 628. Islam glorified the great espanade by the erection of the Dome of the Rock in 691, and by the construction of beautiful buildings around the periphery by Mamluk sultans (1260- 1517). Both Herod and his Muslim successors used religious structures to make political statements.

Undoubtedly, Salome, Herod the Great’s sister was one of the most prominent women figures in the Herodian dynasty. Her personality had a strong influence over the events during the historie period from 37 to 4 B.C. With few exceptional cases, she always loyally supported her brother helping him out many times in difficult situations. She was very successful at discovering plots against Herod the Great. Unfortunately, she was also a skillful intriguer who removed inconvenient people ruthlessly out of her way. The analysis of her deeds leads to the conclusion that her main goal, apart from securing her brother’s wellbeing, was a fight with the  asmonean dynasty, and its most conspicuous manifestation was the conflict with Mariamme I, Herod’s wife. The fact was that Salome had a strong personality and she was capable of confronting Herod the Great’s will, which was the case with the planned marriage with Syllaeus. Salome is even morę fascinating for the historian because she evades any established criteria of evaluation and she may not be viewed exclusively in a negative or positive perspective.

Saint Matthew’s account of the massacre of the children of Bethlehem by the vigilantes hired by Herod poses a lot of difficulty for interpreters. Some historians deny the historicity of the event on the strength of the fact that it was not recorded by Flavius Josephus. Whereas others assert that the massacre is a historical fact and that it was committed on the command of Herod famed for his many atrocities. The Biblical exegetes fall into two similar categories. Maria Valtorta, an Italian 20th century mystic, gives a very vivid account of this evangelical event, portraying it as a historical fact in her Poem of the Man-God. She even recounts the number the murdered infants: 32, including 6 baby girls who were unrecognized in the darkness of the night by Herod’s assassins.
