In 88 BC, Philip (one of the sons of Antiochus VIII) defeated his cousin Antiochus X and took over the throne. During his reign he was continually at war with various relatives. He was driven out of Syria by Tigranes of Armenia who ruled for 14 years before being driven out by the Romans (Pompey) in 64 BC. Since Philip was the last legitament King of Syria, his coins continued to be minted under the Romans for the next 30 years.
