🟤 COMMAGENE

The Kingdom of Commagene, situated in present-day southeastern Turkey, emerged from a Seleucid satrapy to become an independent entity.

Its rulers are notable for their attempts to merge Hellenistic and Persian cultures. Ptolemaeus of Commagene initiated the kingdom's independence around 163 BC.

Antiochus I Theos is perhaps the most celebrated, having commissioned the elaborate monuments of Nemrut Dağ (picture).

The kingdom's strategic position between empires like Rome and Parthia shaped its political trajectory. Antiochus IV, the final independent king, faced increasing Roman pressure, culminating in Commagene's annexation by the Roman Empire in 72 AD.

Kings list:

-Ptolemaeus of Commagene 163-130 BC.

-Sames Il Theosebes Dikaios 130-109 BC. *

-Mithridates | Callinicus 109-70 BC. ~

-Mithridates Il of Commagene 38-20 BC.

-Mithridates III of Commagene 20-12 ВС.

-Antiochus IIl of Commagene 12 BC - 17 AD.

-The gap between 17 AD and 37 AD is because of the annexation of Commagene by Tiberius in 17 AD
