Chalkon - Antiochos VI Chalcis ad Belum

Antiochos VI Dionysus was installed as a rival king by the general Diodotus Tryphon, who used the boy — likely no older than four or five at accession — as a puppet to seize Seleucid territory from Demetrios II. Chalcis ad Belum, a mint in the Syrian interior, struck bronzes under his name during this brief window of contested rule. Tryphon had the child killed around 142 BC and claimed the throne himself, ending one of the more cynical regencies in Hellenistic history.
