Ethnarch living at the time of the New Testament
Archelaus
Herod's son, so feared that Joseph, returning from Egypt, avoided Judea and settled in Nazareth (Matthew 2:22–23). Augustus refused him the title of king. Jesus' parable of a nobleman who went to a far country to receive a kingdom, while his citizens sent envoys after him to protest (Luke 19:12–14), closely matches Archelaus's journey to Rome in 4 BC. After complaints from Jews and Samaritans, Augustus banished him to Vienne in Gaul in AD 6.
