BERENICE, daughter of Costobarus, and of Salome the sister of Herod the Great, was first married to Aristobulus, son of the same Herod and of Mariamme. The cruel Herod having put his son to death, Berenice married a second time; and again became a widow, but whether or not by similar means it is not said. She accompanied her mother to Rome, where she enjoyed the favour of Augustus, and the friendship of Antonia the wife of Drusus, which ultimately proved of great service to her son Agrippa.
