'''Aristobulus IV''' was a member of the families of the [[Herodians]] and the [[Hasmoneans]].
   
==Overview==
 
Aristobulus IV was one of the sons of [[Herod the Great]] and [[Mariamne]]. He was then the scion of both the powerful families of the [[Herodians]] and the [[Hasmoneans]].
 
Aristobulus IV was only 3 when his mother [[Mariamne]] was executed by [[Herod the Great]]. At age 12, along with his brother [[Alexandros]], he was sent to be educated at the Imperial court of Rome in 20 BCE.
 
Aristobulus IV married his cousin [[Berenice I]], and fathered: [[Herod of Chalcis]], [[Herod Agrippa]], and [[Herodias]].
 
When he and his brother returned from Rome in 12 BCE, they got directly involved in the fight for succession, especially against their half-brother [[Antipater II]]. At the end, [[Herod the Great]] had [[Aristobulus IV]] and [[Alexandros]] strangled at [[Sebaste]] on charges of treason in 7 BC, and raised [[Antipater II]] to the rank of his heir.
 
Aristobulus IV's children, however, lived to play important roles in the next generation of Jewish rulers.
