Coins from the reign of Agrippa II.

Having grown up in the court of the emperor Claudius, Agrippa inherited, on the death of his uncle Herod of Chalcis, the oversight of the Temple in 48; Claudius later invested him with the tetrarchy of Chalcis around 49/50. In 53, he was deprived of that kingdom by Claudius, who made him governor over the tetrarchy of Philip and Lysanias (Acts 25:13; 26:2, 7). During the First Jewish-Roman War of 66–73, Agrippa sent 2,000 men to support Vespasian, by which it appears that, although a Jew in religion, he was yet entirely devoted to the Romans. He died at Rome in the third year of Trajan.
