Salome was
the daughter of Herod II and Herodias. She is infamous for demanding and
receiving the head of John the Baptist, according to the New Testament.
According to Flavius Josephus's Jewish Antiquities, Salome was first married to
Philip the Tetrarch of Ituraea and Trakonitis. After Philip's death in 34 AD
she married Aristobulus of Chalcis and became queen of Chalcis and Armenia
Minor. They had three children. Three coins with portraits of Aristobulus and
Salome have been found. Her name in Hebrew meaning "peace". More
