Antiochus VII Euergetes (Greek: Ἀντίοχος Ευεργέτης; c. 164/160 BC[1] – 129 BC), nicknamed Sidetes (Greek: Σιδήτης) (from Side, a city in Asia Minor), also known as Antiochus the Pious,[2] was ruler of the Hellenistic Seleucid Empire from July/August 138 to 129 BC.[3] He was the last Seleucid king of any stature. After Antiochus was killed in battle, the Seleucid realm was restricted to Syria.
^A birth year of Antiochus can be deduced from a statement in the "Chronicle" of Eusebius of Caesarea , which refers to a historical work of the Neoplatonic philosopher Porphyry as a source. It states that the king was 35 years old when he died.
