Ruler of Seleucid Empire from 164 to 161 BC
A boy-king handed the Seleucid throne by Rome at the tail end of empire, with a regent doing the actual work. His epithet — "of a good father" — was the only inheritance that mattered.
Born around 172 BC, Antiochus V Eupator came to power in late 164 BC under circumstances that revealed how far the Seleucid Empire had fallen: the Romans appointed him, and his protector Lysias ruled as regent while the child wore the crown. His reign lasted less than two years. By 162 BC he was gone, a footnote in the long collapse of the dynasty his better father had tried to hold together.
