Salome, in Jewish history, was the name borne by three women of the Herod dynasty.

She was the wife successively of Philip the Tetrarch and Aristobulus, son of Herod of Chalcis.

This Salome is the only one of the three who is mentioned in the New Testament,[1] and only in connection with the execution of John the Baptist.

Herod Antipas, pleased by her dancing, offered her a reward "unto the half of my kingdom"; instructed by Herodias, she asked for John the Baptist's "head in a charger".

[3] Charles Ricketts ascribed to the later 1560s supposed retouches by Titian upon the Salome of the Prado, which he considered "otherwise a poor studio variant" of the Lavinia with the Charger, painted in the 1550s.
