Abstract: "(1) In Ant. 15:317 Josephus said that Herod the Great sent five hundred bodyguards to Augustus, not to Aelius Gallus. (2) The Pollio at whose house Herod's sons stayed (see Ant. 15:342-343) was a Jewish resident of Rome; he was not C. Asinius Pollio. (3) Lugdunum Convenarum, situated in Gaul but on the Spanish border, may have been Herod Antipas' place of exile (see Ant. 18:252; War 2:183), but Lyon is at least as likely. (4) The idea that L. Julius Agrippa of Syrian Apamea was related to the Herodian dynasty is now most dubious". - D.J.H.
