The mausoleum of Antiochus I (69-34 BC) is one of the most magnificent buildings of the Hellenistic period. Antiochus I ruled the Kingdom of Commagene, which was established in Syria and north of the Euphrates River after the disintegration of Alexander's empire. The mausoleum of Antiochus I is one of the most magnificent buildings of the Hellenistic period. The fusion of its pantheon and the fact that the kings' lineage can be traced through two sets of legends, Greek and Persian, attest to the dual origins of the kingdom's culture.
