Herod the Great and certainly Antipas were great builders. Being a great builder means that you employ a lot of people and having jobs and money makes them happy. This makes the king less reliant on the nobility and the nobility hates that shit.
For all the shrieking about what a prick Herod was there were no popular revolts against him....but the fucking upper classes were always plotting. Just a historical curiosity.
