	Herodian - WCD (Wiki Classical Dictionary)
		Herodian must have served the Roman government as a public servant in the capital, but his function was not extremely important, because Herodian nowhere shows deep understanding of politics or military strategy.
		Herodian describes the reign of seventeen emperors: only one of them died a natural death, one of them was a very old man, another was a boy of thirteen, one of them a priest of the Syrian sun god.
		Unfortunately, Herodian is, as a historian, not the equal of his older contemporaries Arrian of Nicomedia, Appian of Alexandria, and Cassius Dio.

	Herodian - Wikipedia
		Herodian, Herodianos oder Herodianus (* wohl um 178; † um 250) war ein römischer Geschichtsschreiber der ausgehenden Hohen Kaiserzeit.
		Herodians Werk, „mehr eine Art historischer Roman als ein Geschichtswerk“ (G. Alföldy), ist gerade in den früheren Abschnitten nicht zuverlässig, da er nicht alle seine Quellen sorgfältig prüfte und offenbar auch manches Detail frei erfand, und gilt aus heutiger Sicht als moralisierend und tendenziös, allerdings auch als farbenreich.
		Der Bericht über Elagabal gilt manchmal als nützlicher als der von Cassius Dio, obwohl Herodian wohl für die Schilderung der Ereignisse bis 228 sehr weitgehend von Dio abhängig sein dürfte.

	Jerusalem - the Herodian Street Along the Western
		After remo-ving the debris of later periods, the Herodian street running along the western wall of the Temple Mount was exposed in its full length.
		It followed the course of the Tyropoeon Valley between the Temple Mount and the western hill, where the Upper City, the quarter of the well-to-do in the Herodian period, was located (today's Jewish and Armenian quarters within the Old City wall and Mt. Zion south of the wall).
		The pier is constructed of large ashlars, similar to those of the Herodian walls of the Temple Mount.

		However this may be, Herodian must have served the Roman government as a public servant in the capital, but his function was not extremely important, because he nowhere shows great understanding of politics or military strategy.
		Herodian describes the reign of seventeen emperors: only one of them died a natural death, one of them was a very old man, another a boy of thirteen, one of them a priest of the Syrian sun god Elagabal.
		There is no need to doubt that Herodian was shocked by all bloodshed: the central scene, exactly in the middle of the book, is Caracalla killing Geta in the arms of their mother Julia Domna.

	Herodian
		Herod's son, Archelaus, inherited the Herodian, which he kept until 6 C.E., when he was banished by the Romans.
		After the destruction of Bayis Sheni and the fall of Yerushalayim, the rebelling Zealots used the Herodian as one of the three primary places of refuge from the pursuing rulers (in addition to Massada and Michvar, to be covered in future Annals).
		The Herodian was well-known from descriptions in Josephus, but it was not until 1962, then again in 1967, that archeologists began excavations under Jordanian direction.

		Certainly not, as the Herodian north-east corner and part of the northern wall are still in existence at the north-east corner of the present-day Temple Mount.
		This northern face of the Herodian north-east tower, which is part of the Herodian northern wall of the Temple Mount, is little known and hardly visible because of some trees which have recently been planted in front of it.
		As many parts of the obviously damaged faces of the Herodian ashlars have been repaired with much smaller stones, the overall effect is such a patchwork that an untrained eye can hardly recognise it as the northern facade of the Temple Mount.

	Robert Eisenman: "Paul as Herodian"
		By "Herodian" we mean a religio-political orientation not inimical to the aims of the Herodian family, not only in Palestine, but also in Asia Minor and even Rome, and possibly implying a genealogical connection as well.
		This is precisely the point of departure of the so-called "Zealot" movement, i.e., it is "zealot" in the manner of Phineas, Ezekiel, and Ezra where removing foreigners from the Israelite camp or Temple is concerned.
		One thing cannot be denied, Paul's Herodian connections make the manner of his sudden appearances and disappearances, his various miraculous escapes, his early power in Jerusalem, his Roman citizenship, his easy relations with kings and governors, and the venue and terms of his primary missionary activities comprehensible in a manner no other reconstruction even approaches.

	History Of The Scottish Nation - Vol 1, Chapter 14 - The Caledonians as painted by Herodian
		Herodian paints the men of Caledonia as going naked, only encircling their necks and bellies with iron rings, as others array themselves in ornaments of gold.
		Herodian can hardly conceal his chagrin that these untrained and unclothes warriors should have adopted a mode of fighting so alien to all the established usages of war, and which placed their opponents in so many points at a disadvantage.
		The Caledonians were in the habit, so Herodian assures us, of tattooing their bodies, after the fashion of the New Zealanders and the American Indians of our own day.

	The Architecture of the Temple Mount
		The Herodian construction of the retaining walls of the Temple Mount is easily identifiable: large, well-cut stones (the smaller ones weighing 2-4 tons) with Herodian dressed margins, set in horizontal courses, generally of uniform height (1-1.2 meters).
		In the eastern wall of the temple mount, about 32 m north of the southeastern corner, a vertical seam is recognizable: the courses of stones on each side of the 'seam' differ in size and workmanship.
		‘Herodian’ masonry is attested at the sites of Aloné Mamré (near Hebron), in the Cave of Machpelah (Hebron), in the Augusteum in Sebastia and possibly also in the Herodian platform at Caesarea.

		And more recently Michael Burgoyne, the British architect wrote, "the intriguing variety of masonry types scattered among the Herodian stones belongs to later repairs and is not, as has been suggested, evidence that the Herodian stones are in secondary use".
		The bold statement by Jacobson that the Herodian stones in the northern face of the north-east tower must be in secondary use, because of the fact that stones from later periods are interspersed between them, doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
		It should also be noted that although the Herodian aslars continue without a break, its character changes, as the width of the wall is far greater than the usual 15 feet.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2000.03.25
		On the first question, Hidber quite rightly argues that the relative paucity of speeches in the later books is due to a change in how the author wished to adorn his narrative rather than the publication of an unrevised text.
		This review has discussed the essays on Herodian outside of the order in which they appear in the volume because Herodian's work is central to the theme of historiographical tradition meant to underlie the collection.
		With regard to the literary value of Herodian's text, the author's deficiencies as a "scientific" historian -- deficiencies that are not insubstantial -- are more than compensated by his highly rhetoricized language, style and outlook.

		Again the Herodian tower was left in place, which surely is a sign of its enduring quality.

		The smaller upper stones of the tower show a vast contrast with the solid blocks of Herod at the base of the tower; the last are built for eternity.

		The fact that Herodian was not a member of the class from which we hear so much should make his history interesting for its own sake.
		Herodian's method of collecting information (very well discussed by Mueller on pages 21-23 of his introduction) should likewise invite attention as a reflection of the way that a person not blessed with the highest status found out about things.
		The period about which he writes, marking the beginning of the breakdown of the style of government that had evolved from the principate of Augustus, is crucial.

		One of the highlights of the Jerusalem Archaeological Park's Ethan and Marla Davidson Center is a real-time visual simulation model of the Herodian Temple Mount on display in the Center's interactive classroom.
		In the Center, the model of the Herodian Temple Mount runs on a Silicon Graphics Onyx2 Infinite Reality 2 that generates close to 30 frames a second (which equals a frame every 33 milliseconds - 36,000 times faster than the computer that takes 20 minutes to render an individual animation frame).
		For the Herodian Temple Mount model, uSim has 33 milliseconds to evaluate and render an average of 45,000 triangles per frame.

		As Jesus was leaving Herodian Jericho to travel with His disciples and others to the Passover in Jerusalem, He stopped to teach the parable of the minas.

		The author suggests that Herod the Great would be better described as a “Hellenized Phoenician” rather than simply as an “Idumaean” and he draws on a variety of evidence to support this view.
		The Herodian dynasty is seen in the context of the political structure of the province of Judaea and life in Graeco-Roman Palestine as a whole.
