| Aanvullende informatie |
Commagene occupied a precarious strip of territory between Rome and Parthia, and its kings survived by reading the political weather with exceptional care. Antiochus IV — the last ruling king of the dynasty — was installed by Caligula in 38 AD, deposed by Claudius in 72 AD, then reinstated by Claudius before Vespasian finally annexed the kingdom outright. This coin was struck across that entire contested span. The end came swiftly: Vespasian's legate Caesennius Paetus marched in on unconfirmed suspicion of Parthian dealings, and Commagene ceased to exist as an independent entity.
