(Redirected from Salome II)
Salome, also known as Salome II,[1] was a Herodian princess, the daughter of Herod the Great (Herod I) and one of his lesser wives, Elpis, born in ~14 BCE.[2]
She should not be confused with Salome, whose mother was Herodias, and who is alleged to have played a role in the death of John the Baptist.
