Tetradrachm - Antiochos VI Dionysos Antioch

Antiochos VI never actually ruled — he was a child figurehead installed by the general Diodotus Tryphon, who used the boy's legitimacy to seize control of the Seleucid throne from Demetrios II. The epithet Dionysos was part of a deliberate propaganda campaign, associating the young king with divine festivity and abundance to shore up popular support for what was, in practice, Tryphon's coup. Antiochos was likely murdered by Tryphon around 142 BC, once he had outlived his political usefulness.
