200 ANTIOCHUS.
the whole of Syria; but his claims were resisted by
Seleucus, the eldest son of Antiochus VIII.,by whom
he was killed in battle, B. c. 95. He left behind
him a son, Antiochus Eusebes, who succeeded to
the throne. (Justin, Appian, Joseph. 1I. cc.; Eckhel, iii. p. 241, &c.) The reverse of the foregoing
coin is the same as that of Antiochus VII.
ANTI'OCHUS X. ('AvrioXos), king of SYRIA,
surnamed EUSEBES (Eo-eEGs), and on coins.
Philopator (4eAowIrarwp) also, succeeded to the
throne on the death of his father Antiochus IX.
B. c. 95. He defeated Seleucus, who conquered
his father, and compelled him to fly into Cilicia,
where he perished; but he then had to contend
with the next two brothers of Seleucus, Philip and
Antiochus Epiphanes, the latter of whom assumed
the title of king, and is known as the eleventh
king of Syria of this name. In a battle fought
near the Orontes, Antiochus X. defeated Philip
and Antiochus XI., and the latter was drowned in
the river. The crown was now assumed by Philip,
who continued to prosecute the war assisted by his
brother, Demetrius Eucaerus. The Syrians, worn
out with these civil broils, offered the kingdom to
Tigranes, king of Armenia, who accordingly took
possession of Syria in n. c. 83, and ruled over it
till he was defeated by Lucullus in B. c. 69. The
time of the death of Antiochus X. is uncertain.
He appears, however, to have fallen in battle
against the Parthians, before Tigranes obtained
possession of Syria. (Joseph. Antiq. xiii. 13. ~ 4.)
According to some accounts he survived the reign
of Tigranes, and returned to his kingdom after the
conquest of the latter by Lucullus (Euseb. p. 1922;
Justin, xl. 2); but these accounts ascribe to Antiochus X. what belongs to his son Antiochus XIII.
(See Clinton, F. H. vol. iii. pp. 338, 340.) Jupiter
is represented on the reverse of the annexed coin
as in that of Antiochus IV.

ANTIOPE.
the youngest son of Antiochus VIII., assumed the
title of king after his brother Demetrius had been
taken prisoner by the Parthians. He fell in battle
against Aretas, king of the Arabians. (Joseph.
Ant. xiii. 15. ~ 1; Eckhel, iii. p. 246, &c.)

COIN OF ANTIOCHUS XII.
ANTI'OCHUS XIII., king of SYRIA, surnamed ASIATICUS ('AoLaTLKcS), and on coins
Dionysus Philopator Callinicus (Aiovvuos 41 o7rdc7p KaAAlXvcos), was the son of Antiochus X.
and Selene, an Egyptian princess. He repaired to
Rome during the time that Tigranes had possession of Syria, and passed through Syria on his return during the government of Verres. (a. c. 73-71.)
On the defeat of Tigranes in B. c. 69, Lucullus
allowed Antiochus Asiaticus to take possession of
the kingdom; but he was deprived of it in B. c. 65
by Pompey, who reduced Sicily to a Roman province. In this year the Seleucidae ceased to reign.
(Appian, Syr. 49, 70; Cic. in Verr. iv. 27, 28, 30;
Justin, xl. 2.) Some writers suppose, that Antiochus Asiaticus afterwards reigned as king of Commagene, but there are not sufficient reasons to support this opinion. [ANTIOCHUS I., king of Commagene.]
