Biography

There is a possibility that Cleopatra could have been a daughter of a local noble from Jerusalem. She was born and raised in the city and could have been of Jewish or Edomite-Phoenician origins.Шаблон:Citation needed Cleopatra was called Cleopatra of Jerusalem, to distinguish her from the Ptolemaic Greek Queen Cleopatra VII of Egypt.

Josephus mentions "Cleopatra of Jerusalem" twice: once in his Antiquities of the Jews 17.1.3 and once in his The Jewish War 1.28.4. Cleopatra of Jerusalem was not related to the Hasmonaean Dynasty. She had married King Herod the Great in 25 BC. Herod possibly married her as a part of a political alliance.

Cleopatra had two sons with Herod who were:

• Herod (b. 24 BC/23 BC), of which very little is known. Шаблон:Citation needed
• Herod Philip II (b. 22 BC/21 BC – 34) who later became the Tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis.

Cleopatra's children by Herod were raised and educated in Rome.

Cleopatra became the mother-in-law of Philip's wife and niece Salome. Philip and Salome had no children.
