Hasmoneancube was a Jewish kingdomcube that ruled Judea and other surrounding regions during the Hellenistic period of classical antiquity.
History
Hasmoneancube traces its origins to the Maccabean Revolt against 
Seleucidball, the empire that ruled Judeacube at the time. The revolt counted with the foreign support of 
Nabateaball and 
SPQRball, turning out to be a success and ending with the Jewcubes receiving autonomy.
Hasmoneancube claimed ancestry from 
Kingdom of Judahcube, but it existed in a very different context from the ancient Israelite kingdomcubes, during the Hellenistic times of classical antiquity, where the Jewish religion found itself in the Second Temple period.
Hasmoneancube governed Judeacube semi-autonomously under Seleucidball, and from roughly 110 BCE, with the empire disintegrating, it gained further autonomy and expanded into other clays in the area, such as Pereaball, Samariaball, Idumeaball, Galileeball, and Itureaball.
The expansionist campaigns caused internal crises, as the kingdom was not very stable to begin with. There was rivalry between Hasmoneancube leaders and different Jewish religious groups, notably the Sadducees and Pharisees, who vied for influence. All this ended in a civil war between claimants to the throne, fought between Hyrcanus II and Aristobulus II.
Out of that, SPQRball intervened in Judeacube, entering Jerusalemcube and putting an end to Hasmoneancube. SPQRball intervention, however, didn't put an end to the conflicts between Jewcubes, in fact it only plunged them into the internal conflicts between the Romans themselves, ending up involving Judeacube in the war with 
Parthiaball.
In the end, with SPQRball support, Herod (former Governor of Galileeball) emerged victorious against Parthiaball-backed Antigonus, founding 
Herodiancube. From that time on, Judeacube became a client state of SPQRball and eventually a Roman province.
