From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Herodians
     a Jewish political party who sympathized with (Mark 3:6; 12:13;
     Matt, 22:16; Luke 20:20) the Herodian rulers in their general
     policy of government, and in the social customs which they
     introduced from Rome. They were at one with the Sadducees in
     holding the duty of submission to Rome, and of supporting the


     Herods on the throne. (Comp. Mark 8:15; Matt. 16:6.)
