Mattathias Antigonus Is Murdered by Roman General Mark Antony
Later in the year 37 BCE, Herod, fearing that Antigonus might regain power due to his noble birth and claim to the throne, offered Mark Antony a large sum of money to have Mattathias Antigonus killed.
Josephus, Antiquities, 14.16.4
“Herod…, by giving Antony a great deal of money, endeavored to persuade him to have Antigonus slain…And thus did the government of the Hasmoneans cease, a hundred twenty and six years after it was first set up.”
