Berenice of Cilicia, also known as Julia Berenice and sometimes spelled Bernice (Greek: Βερενίκη or Βερνίκη, Bereníkē or Berníkē; 28 – after 81), was a Jewish client queen of the Roman Empire during the second half of the 1st century. Berenice was a member of the Herodian dynasty that ruled the Roman province of Judaea between 39 BC and 92 AD. She was the daughter of King Herod Agrippa I and Cypros and a sister of King Herod Agrippa II. What little is known about her life and background comes mostly from the early historian Flavius Josephus, who detailed a history of the Jewish people and wrote an account of the Jewish Rebellion of 67. Suetonius, Tacitus, Dio Cassius, Aurelius Victor, and Juvenal also write about her. She is also mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles (25:13, 23; 26:30). Read more on Wikipedia

Her biography is available in different languages on Wikipedia. Berenice is the 1,607th most popular politician (up from 2,816th in 2019), the 64th most popular biography from Israel (up from 102nd in 2019) and the 20th most popular Israeli Politician.

Berenice was a Greek queen who was married to Ptolemy III. She is most famous for her hair, which she cut off and offered to Aphrodite as a sacrifice in order to save her husband from death.
