Biography
Little is known about Acme's early life, other than she was a slave in the service of Empress Livia.[1] She comes to prominence later in life when she was embroiled in a family conflict between Herod the Great and his son Antipater, which took place during the final nine years of Herod's life.[1] Whilst Antipater was living in Rome, he recruited Acme to forge letters from Salome, his aunt and Herod's sister, to Empress Livia.[1]
Acme's part in the conspiracy was discovered when a letter between Antipater and Acme was intercepted. This letter described a plan to forge incriminating letters which would lead to the execution of Salome by Herod.[2] The purpose of the letters was to make Herod believe that Salome was conspiring against him by writing to important people in Rome.[1]
Herod denounced the events to Emperor Augustus and, as a result, Acme was executed in 5 BC.[3][1] Her death was reported to Herod by Caesar in a letter.[4] After her death, Augustus allowed Herod to decide on the fate of Antipater; on returning to Judea, he executed his son immediately, five days before his own death.[3]
Historiography
Шаблон:WikisourceШаблон:WikisourceШаблон:Wikisource
The story of Acme's role in the Herod's family feud is related by Titus Flavius Josephus in The Antiquities of the Jews and in The War of the Jews.[5] However there are discrepancies between how the story is related between the texts.[6] The execution of Acme is also used as evidence to date Herod's death more closely.[6]
