Demetrius, having escaped from confinement in Rome …
Years: 161BCE - 161BCE
Demetrius, having escaped from confinement in Rome with the help of the historian Polybius, is received in Syria as the true king.
Welcomed back on the Syrian throne in 161 BCE, he immediately kills Antiochus V and Lysias.
This may well have been the provocation that caused Timarchus to take the final step to independence and declare himself king.
