==Overview==
 
Berenice was the niece of [[Herod the Great]], the daughter of his sister [[Salome I]] and the governor of Idumea [[Costobarus]].
 
Berenice married her cousin [[Aristobulus IV]], the son of [[Herod the Great]] and [[Mariamne]]. She also thus joined the powerful [[House of Hasmoneus]]. The couple had five children, [[Herodias]], [[Herod Agrippa I]], [[Herod of Chalcis]], [[Mariamne III]] and [[Aristobulus Minor]].
 
The marriage did not bring peace to the rival families. Berenice remained loyal to her mother [[Salome I]] and so did [[Aristobulus IV]] with his grand-mother [[Alexandra the Hasmonean]]. Eventually in 6 BCE [[Aristobulus IV]] and his grandmother were executed by [[Herod the Great]].
 
Berenice then married [[Theudion]], the maternal uncle of Antipater, son of [[Herod I]]. Her second husband also was put to death for participation in a plot against [[Herod]]; and Berenice then married [[Herod Archelaus]]. With him she went to Rome and remained there until her death, enjoying the favor of the imperial household.
