Seleukid Kings. SELEUKID EMPIRE. Antiochos IV Epiphanes 175-164 BC. Silver (AR) Drachm. Weight 3.79 gram, Size 17mm.
Descriptions of the type :
Antiochos IV diademed head right. / Apollo Delphios, testing arrow and placing hand on bow, seated left on omphalos.
Antiochus IV, so called Antiochus the evil, is known for his cruelty and imposing decrees against the Jewish tradition and prohibition of keeping the Lord commandments by Jews. Which led to the outbreak of the Hasmonean Revolt, and eventually led to the miracle of Hanukkah and the independence of the Jewish people.
