After Marcus Julius died [AD 44], she married her uncle Herod of Chalcis by whom she had two sons, Berenicianus and Hyrcanus.[4] She later lived with her brother Agrippa II, reputedly in an incestuous relationship. Finally, she married Polemon, king of Cilicia, as alluded to by Juvenal.[5] Berenice also had a common law relationship with the Roman emperor Titus.[6] Similar to her brother Herod Agrippa II, she supported Roman Rule.
Drusus [b.?-d.?]; According to Josephus, there was also a younger brother called Drusus, who died before his teens.[7]

Around AD 65 Mariamne left her husband and married Demetrius of Alexandria who was its Alabarch and had a son from him named Agrippinus.[8]
