SYRIA. 28. NEMRUD-DAGH King Antiochus I of Commagene (69-34 B.C.) had a sepulchral monument erected on the terrace of Nemrud-Dagh during his life. On the east part of the terrace the king had five colossal statues of about 8 m high erected between a lion and an eagle. The gods are represented in a sitting posture on a throne and are: Apollo-Mithras (see below); Tyche-Commagene; Zeus-Ahura-Mazda; Antiochus himself and finally Ares-Artagnes. On the backs of the five thrones an inscription has been engraved (No. 32). On the western part of the terrace, again between a lion and an eagle;-there are five representations of the same deities, though here rendered in relief. They are represented either enthroned or standing, holding out their hands to Antiochus. First of all Tyche-Commagene, handing gifts to the king; then Apollo-Mithras-Helios (see below); in the middle Zeus-Ahura-Mazda enthrones and then Ares-Artagnes-Heracles. The fifth relief depicts the king's horoscope (see below).
