  Antiochus I Theos ruled Commagene, a Greco-Iranian kingdom wedged between empires, from 70 to 31 BC. He styled himself "the just, eminent god, friend of Romans and friend of Greeks" and meant it literally: atop Mount Nemrut in what's now Turkey, he erected a monumental tomb-sanctuary where sandstone reliefs showed him deified, clasping hands with Greco-Iranian deities and the goddess Commagene herself. Those carvings are among the oldest known images of a handshake. He was one of the last rulers of a Persian-Macedonian court before Rome swept in. UNESCO added the ruins to its World Heritage list in 1987.
