At this time a report went about the city Jerusalem among Herod's
enemies, that Antony had tortured Herod, and put him to death. This report,
as is natural, disturbed those that were about the palace, but chiefly
the women; upon which Alexandra endeavored to persuade Joseph to go out
of the palace, and fly away with them to the ensigns of the Roman legion,
which then lay encamped about the city, as a guard to the kingdom, under
the command of Julius; for that by this means, if any disturbance should
happen about the palace, they should be in greater security, as having
the Romans favorable to them; and that besides, they hoped to obtain the
highest authority, if Antony did but once see Mariamne, by whose means
they should recover the kingdom, and want nothing which was reasonable
for them to hope for, because of their royal extraction.
