ARCHELAUS, the son of Herod the Great, was de-
clared king of Judea the second year after the birth of
Christ. He put to death 3000 persons before he went
to Rome to be confirmed by Augustus. However, that
emperor gave him half of what had been possessed by
his father; but at length, on fresh complaints exhibi-
ted against him by the Jews, he banished him to Vienne
in Gaul, A. D. 6. where he died.
