This is the thesis Abstract, Introduction and Table of Contents. This research examined some of the archaeological and material evidence which throws light on aspects of the life of Agrippa I as revealed in the historical sources, including any indications for problems which might provide non-natural reasons for the shortness of his reign. This has begun with an examination of building projects in Judaea and Syria attributed to his grandfather, Herod I (the Great) in hope of revealing Herod's cultural identity and how this might differ from Agrippa I's own approach.
