TFA blurb review
Seleucus VI Epiphanes was a Hellenistic Seleucid monarch who ruled Syria between 96 and 94 BC. He was the son of Antiochus VIII and his Egyptian wife Tryphaena. A period of civil war between his father and his uncle Antiochus IX ended in 96 BC when his father was assassinated. Antiochus IX then occupied the capital Antioch while Seleucus VI established his power-base in western Cilicia. After his uncle was killed, Seleucus VI became the master of the capital but shared Syria with his brother and his cousin Antiochus X. According to the ancient historian Appian, Seleucus VI was a violent ruler. He taxed his dominions extensively to support his wars, and resisted allowing the cities a measure of autonomy, as had been the practice of former kings. His reign did not last long; in 94 BC, he was expelled from Antioch by Antiochus X, who followed him to the Cilician city of Mopsuestia, where his attempts to raise money led to riots that eventually claimed his life.
