Antiochus II
From LoveToKnow 1911
ANTIOCHUS II., who was executed by Augustus in 29 B.C. After another Mithradates we know of an ANTIOCHUS III., on whose death in A.D. 17 Commagene became a Roman province. In 38 his son Antiochus Iv. Epiphanes was made king by Caligula, who deposed him almost immediately. Restored by Claudius in 41, he reigned until 72 as an ally of Rome against Parthia. In that year he was deposed on suspicion of treason and retired to Rome. Several of his coins are extant.
On all the above see "Antiochos" in Paul y -Wissowa's Realencyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft, i. part ii. (1894).
