Agrippa's Daughter

Agrippa's Daughter is the dramatic story of a Jewish queen whose life was the greatest romance of ancient time. Queen Berenice Bat Agrippa of Israel was the daughter of the King of Israel, Agrippa I. Bernice was 23 when her marriage to King Herod of Chalcis ended with his death. She then married the physician Shimeon Ben Gamaliel, of the House of the great Rabbi Hillel, to whose teachings she became a committed disciple. After the murder of Shimeon, she traveled to Rome and fell in love with Titus, son of the Emporer. They planned an impossible but beautiful union between the royal lines of Rome and Israel. Berenice's story is also the story of the Nation of Israel, in the years before the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, and the cruel exile of the Jewish people from their ancient homeland.
