I assume you mean, 'under the reign of which ruler was Christ born'. This was during the reign of the Roman Emperor Augustus. In a nearby state of Syria, Quirinius was the Roman governor there. Herod was King of Judea - the southern kingdom with Jerusalem as capital (jesus completed most of his ministry in Israel - in the district of Galilee, the Northern kingdom) These facts can be found in Luke's Gospel, written by Luke, a Doctor Who was commissioned to investigate the whole story of Jesus from the beginning in a systematic and complete way. The account can be read in any Bible, or at http://www.biblegateway.com. Put in a search for the first 2 chapters of his book (Luke 1 and Luke 2) and you'll find the facts there. Herod the Great was the ruler in Judea when Christ was born and died soon after, in 4BC.

Caesar Augustus was the Roman Emperor at the time Jesus was born. King Herod the Great was the ruler of the Jews at the time but only with the permission of the Roman Emperor. He was basically a puppet of the Romans.
