附加信息	Antiochos IV of Commagene had one of the stranger political careers of the first century AD — twice deposed, twice restored by Rome, he ruled as a client king whose fortunes tracked Roman dynastic upheaval almost exactly. This bronze was struck for the Cietis, a semi-autonomous people in Rough Cilicia whom Antiochos administered as part of the territory Rome periodically handed him as reward for loyalty. The arrangement ended definitively in 72 AD when Vespasian's general Caesennius Paetus annexed Commagene outright, reportedly on suspicion that Antiochos had been negotiating with Parthia.
