Philip I Philadelphus

Philip I Philadelphus

Philip I Philadelphus, a ruler of the Hellenistic Seleucid kingdom, was the fourth son of Antiochus VIII Grypus. He took the diadem in the 95 BC together with his older brother (probably twin) Antiochus XI Ephiphanes, after the eldest son Seleucus VI Epiphanes was killed by their cousin Antiochus X Eusebes. He managed to establish himself in Antiochia sometime after 92 BC and survived attacks from younger brother Demetrius III Eucaerus. His rule was ended in 83 BC when Tigranes conquered Syria, or sometime before. He disappears from history at that point, but later coins bearing his portrait were issued by the Roman authorities.
