Almost alone amongst the later Seleukid monarchs, Antiochos VII ruled with competence and integrity. He was the younger borther of Demetrios II, and following the latter's capture by the Parthians he seized power and quickly disposed of the usurper Tryphon. He campaiged with success in Palestine and Babylonia, but in 129 B.C. he was killed in battle against the Parthians.
