Acme (Greek: Ἁκμή, romanized: Akmē, died 5 BCE) was a Jewish slave and personal maid in the service of the Empress Livia Drusilla, wife of Caesar Augustus.
Little is known about Acme's early life, other than she was a slave in the service of Empress Livia.
[1] Whilst Antipater was living in Rome, he recruited Acme to forge letters from Salome, his aunt and Herod's sister, to Empress Livia.
[2] The purpose of the letters was to make Herod believe that Salome was conspiring against him by writing to important people in Rome.
[1] Herod denounced the events to Emperor Augustus and, as a result, Acme was executed in 5 BC.
