Tetradrachm - Antiochos XI Epiphanes Philadelphos

Antiochos XI ruled for less than a year — deposed and killed in 93 BC after his brother Philip I drove him out following their joint seizure of power from their half-brother Seleucus VI, whom they had burned alive in retaliation for the death of their brother Antiochos X. The fratricidal chaos of the late Seleucid dynasty compressed multiple reigns into single years, and this tetradrachm belongs to that compressed window. Relatively few dies are known for this reign, and the Antioch mint was almost certainly interrupted by the political violence.
