I wonder why people keep imagining Herod as wearing Middle Eastern garb. He was educated in Rome, and dressed like a Roman. I think I saw a statue once that was supposed to be of him, and he was clean shaven, kind of fat, with a round face, short hair and a laurel. I've also seen a statue bust of his grandson Herod Agrippa, who, though he had very heavily Middle Eastern features, was also clean shaven and with short hair.

Herod did not look like a Beduin tribesman, Herod was shaved and we wore a toga
he was completey Hellenized and Romanized. Apart from the family nonsesne he did, he an important figure and a friend of the divine Augustus.
