| Aanvullende informatie |
Antiochus IV of Commagene ruled as a client king under Rome, restored to his throne by Caligula in 38 AD after a brief deposition, and again confirmed by Claudius. This tetrachalkon was struck jointly in the names of his sons Epiphanes and Kallinikos during the final decade of the dynasty. In 72 AD, Vespasian ordered the annexation of Commagene on charges — likely fabricated — that Antiochus had been negotiating with Parthia. The kingdom was absorbed into the province of Syria, ending over a century of Commagenian royal coinage.
