From the Sigmund Collection.

Antiochos XIII “Asiatikos” was the last of the great line of Seleukid kings. He spent his youth in Asia and Rome, and, following the withdrawal of Tigranes II from Syria, he was placed on the Seleukid throne by the Romans. His reign was very turbulent, and in 64 BC he was ousted by Pompey. Thereafter, Syria became a Roman province.
