The Murder of Regilla

Abstract

Regilla was married at age 15 to wealthy Greek Herodes. Twenty years later, eight months pregnant with her sixth child, she died under mysterious circumstances from a blow delivered by Herodes’s freedman. Herodes was charged but acquitted. This investigation suggests that despite his erection of monuments to his deceased wife, Herodes was guilty.
