'''Aristobulus II''' was a member of the Hasmonean disnasty, who rules as High Priest and King from 66 to 63 BCE.
==Overview==
Aristobulus II was the son of [[Alexander Jannaeus]] and  [[Salome Alexandra]], and the younger brother of [[John Hyrcanus II]]. When in 67 BCE his brother was designated to succeed their mother as King, he overpowered him and took the throne and the office of High Priest, from 66 to 63 BCE.
With the Roman intervention in 63 BCE, John Hyrcanus II with the military support of the Idumean [[Antipater]] regained the High Priesthood.
Aristobulus II and his two sons, [[Alexander of Judaea|Alexander]] and [[Antigonus]], were deported to Rome but never gave up their claims. First, [[Alexander of Judaea|Alexander]] managed to escape and raised an army that caused [[John Hyrcanus II]] and [[Antipater]] no little annoyance in Judaea. It took the intervention of the Roman general [[Gabinius]] to regain control of the region.
In 56 BCE Aristobulos II and Antigonus also escaped and with Alexander continued to create trouble and revolts in the region.
In 49 BCE Aristobulos II was murdered by poison and his son Alexander executed. In 40 BCE  [[Antigonus]], with the support of the Parthians led a rebellion against Rome and for a few years gained the kingship and High Priesthood before being defeated and killed in 37 BCE by [[Herod the Great]].
