There were several Herod's that ruled in the region where Jesus lived and died.

The first was Herod the Great mentioned in Matthew 2:1-16 and Luke 1:5. He was the one who ordered the death of infant boys aged two and under in an attempt to kill Jesus.

After his death, his kingdom was divided into three districts by Rome.

Herod Archelaus was over Judea, Herod Antipas ruled over Galilee and Peraea and Philip ruled areas east of the Jordan.

In Matthew 2:22 Archelaus was mentioned as ruling over Judea after the death of his father, King Herod.

The next Herod, Antipas was the one who killed John the Baptizer (Mark 14:3-12), sought to kill Jesus (Luke 13:31) and ultimately had a hand in the death of Jesus (Acts 4:27)

Herod Agrippa I was the grandson of Herod the Great and is mentioned at Acts 12:1.

He was the last Herod to rule although his son Herod Agrippa II was a prince mentioned later in Acts 25:13.

Herod Phillip was mentioned at Matthew 14:3; Mark 6:1, 18 and Luke 3:19. He was also a son of Herod the Great.

No. Herod Archelaus was deposed from his kingship in 6 A.D. and a Roman procurator was appointed to oversee Judea. Pontius Pilate was procurator when Jesus was Crucified.

How could Jesus be born under herod and Caesar Augustus?

Caesar Augustus was the leader of the Roman Empire, which included many small countries. There were several kings named Herod. Herod Archelaus was king of Judea but was still under the authority of the Romans. Sort of like a person born now in California--in the time of President Obama but also the time of Governor Schwarzeneger.
