Antiochus VI Dionysus (circa 148–142/1 BC), king of the Hellenistic Seleucid kingdom, was the son of Alexander Balas and Cleopatra Thea, daughter of Ptolemy VI of Egypt. Antiochus VI did not actually rule. Either already in 145 or in early 144 BC he was nominated by the general Diodotus Tryphon as heir to the throne in opposition to Demetrius II, and remained the general′s tool. In circa 142/141 BC, the young king died. While some ancient authors make Diodotus Tryphon responsible for the death of the king, others write that he died during a surgery. Antiochos VI was succeeded by Diodotus Tryphon.

This attractive large bronze coin depicts the divine ancestor of the Seleucid dynasty, the god Apollo. On the reverse is the mantic tripod which Apollo′s priestess at Delphi used to commune with the god and see into the future. It was customary for her to respond to questioners in riddling poems that were frequently misinterpreted. At several shrines the Seleucids had the right to consult Apollo′s oracle before others.
