After the defeat of his army by Octavius (Massimo Girotti), Herod travels to Rhodes to pay homage to the new sovereign. Mistakenly, word spreads to Judea declaring King Herod is dead and arrangements need to be made to succeed him. But to everyone's disbelief, Herod returns to find that he must not only deal with a collapsing kingdom, but a failing marriage to wife, Miriam (Sylvia Lopez). Despite his power, Herod cannot prevent the ultimate destruction of the lives of his loved ones, or himself."--Container.
