One of the notable aspects of Herod’s reign was his extensive building projects throughout Judea. He undertook the rebuilding of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, expanding its base to include the Western Wall. He also constructed theaters, amphitheaters, and fortresses. These projects were not only a display of Herod’s power and wealth but also aimed to appease his Roman patrons by bringing the benefits of Roman civilization to the region. His building achievements left a lasting impact on the architectural landscape of Judea.
