# Berenice

> A Jewish queen who became the lover of a future Roman emperor, then vanished from history when Roman prejudice made her too costly to keep. The scandal wasn't just the affair — it was the whispers about her and her brother.

## Bio

Berenice was born in 28 into the Herodian dynasty, daughter of King Herod Agrippa I, and spent her early life navigating the politics of a Jewish client kingdom inside the Roman Empire. Widowed twice by her 40s, she lived at the court of her brother, King Herod Agrippa II, where rumors of incest clung to them both. During the First Jewish-Roman War in 67, she began a love affair with Titus Flavius Vespasianus, a Roman general who would become emperor. Romans despised Eastern queens — the ghost of Cleopatra still haunted the city — and when Titus took the throne in 79, he sent Berenice away. Two years later he was dead, and she disappeared from every record that survives.
