Seleucus V Philometor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Seleucid king Seleucus V Philometor (126 - 125 BC), ruler of the Hellenistic Seleucid kingdom, was the eldest son of Demetrius II Nicator and Cleopatra Thea. The epithet Philometor means mother-loving and in the Hellenistic world usually indicated that the mother acted as co-regent for the prince. Cleopatra killed Seleucus when he attempted to claim the throne.
