Seleukid Kings. Antiochos IV Epiphanes 175-164 BC. RARE Seleukeia on the Tigris mint Bronze coin. Weight 10.26 gram, Size 23 mm.
Descriptions of the type :
Diademed head right/ Goddess enthroned left, holding Nike and scpeter; monogram.
Antiochus IV, so called Antiochus the evil, is known for his cruelty and imposing decrees against the Jewish tradition and prohibition of keeping the Lord commandments by Jews. Which led to the outbreak of the Hasmonean Revolt, and eventually led to the miracle of Hanukkah and the independence of the Jewish people.
