Mariamne III was a daughter of Aristobulus IV and Berenice.
She had three brothers, Herod of Chalcis, Herod Agrippa I, and Aristobulus V, and one sister, Herodias.
Some time after the: death of her father in 7 BCE, Mariamne III was betrothed to Antipater II, her uncle and the eldest son of Herod the Great. After Antipater's execution in 4 BCE, an anonymous Mariamne was the "first wife of another uncle," Herod Archelaus, ethnarch of Judea but nothing permits to know if she was Mariamne III.
