Seleukid Kings . Antiochos IV Epiphanes. 175-164 BC. Bronze (Æ) coin. Weight 3.47 gram, Size 15 mm.

Descriptions of the type :


Radiate and diademed head of Antiochos IV right / Apollo testing arrow, 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.
