                              Antiochos XIII "Asiatikos" was the last of the 
                              great line of Seleukid kings. He spent his youth 
                              in Asia and Rome, and following the withdrawal of 
                              Tigranes II from Syria he was placed on the 
                              Seleukid throne by the Romans. His reign was very 
                              turbulent, and in 64 BC he was ousted by Pompey. 
                              Thereafter, Syria became a Roman province.
