King of Babylonia (187-175). Receiving the epithet Philopator meaning “father lover”, Seleucus IV rule was marked by the aftermath of the Peace of Apamea, the war compensations the Seleucid Kingdom is forced to pay Rome and its allies, and the civil unrest caused by the drastic measures used to raise funds such as the plundering of temples (2 Mcb 3-4). He died at the hands of one of his generals. Seleucus IV is mentioned in the Babylonian King List of the Hellenistic Period.
