After Herod the Great died in −4, his kingdom was divided among his sons instead of staying united. Archelaus received Judea, Samaria, and Idumea; Herod Antipas received Galilee and Perea; and Philip received territories northeast of the Sea of Galilee. Archelaus ruled so poorly that Rome removed him in 6, and Judea became a Roman province ruled by governors/prefects. From a Jewish perspective, this was a major step toward direct Roman control over Jerusalem and the Temple.
