Seleukid Kings . Antiochos IV Epiphanes. 175-164 BC. (Æ) bronze coin. Weight about 33.83 gram, Size about 32mm.
Head of Zeus-Serapis right, wearing tainia / Eagle with closed wings standing to right.
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.
