Salome with the head of John the Baptist. Audrey Beardsley, based on Oscar Wilde's play Salomé: A tragedy on one act

Salome or Salomé (Hebrew: שלומית Shlomit) (c AD 14 – between 62 and 71), is the name of a character in the New Testament. Her name is not actually given there, but she was an entirely historical person. She was the daughter of Herod Antipas and Herodias. Her name is pronounced with a short 'o', and the 'e' at the end is sounded.

This Salome is not the same Salome who is said to be a witness to the Crucifixion of Jesus in Mark 15:40.
