Salome Alexandra (139-67 BCE) — combining the Hebrew Shalom-tziyon ("peace of Zion") and the Greek Alexandra — was the Hasmonean queen of Judea who ruled in her own right (76-67 BCE) after the death of her husband Alexander Jannaeus. Her reign was remembered as the only sustained period of peace and prosperity in late Hasmonean Judea — she allied with the Pharisees, kept Rome at bay, and was praised in the Talmud (Sifra on Leviticus): "In the days of Simeon ben Shetah and Queen Salome, rain fell on the eves of Sabbath only."
Featured in Josephus's Antiquities of the Jews and the Talmud.
Salome Alexandra reduces to five — the number of Hasmonean queen.
