Ruler of Galilee and Peraea (5)

I believe the answer is:

herod

(Other definitions for herod that I've seen before include "Christ was born in the reign of . . . . . the Great (5)" , "NT king" , "King of Judaea, temple builder" , "Former king" , "Old king" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
