2nd century BC –84 BC
Sovereign
Antiochus XII Dionysus Epiphanes Philopator Callinicus (Ancient Greek: Ἀντίοχος Διόνυσος Ἐπιφανής Φιλοπάτωρ Καλλίνικος; between 124 and 109 BC – 82 BC) was a Hellenistic Seleucid monarch who reigned as King of Syria between 87 and 82 BC. The youngest son of King Antiochus VIII, he took the throne and captured Damascus after his brother Philip I defeated another brother, Demetrius III, who went into exile in Parthia. Philip I remained in the Syrian capital Antioch. Antiochus XII consolidated his territory within inner Syria and did not seek to expand into his brother's territories. Philip I attempted to annex Damascus but was repulsed. Antiochus XII focused his attention on Syria's southern reaches into which the Judaeans and Nabataeans sought to expand.
Antiochus XII reinforced his southern frontier and warred with his neighbors, conducting two campaigns against Nabataea that included engagements with Judea. After several victories in his first campaign, he was killed towards the end of his second campaign against the Nabateans at the Battle of Cana in 82 BC. The Syrian throne was claimed by the queen dowager Cleopatra Selene and her son Antiochus XIII, while Damascus was captured by the forces of the Nabatean king Aretas III.
