Antiochus IV Epiphanes, the Greek king of the Seleucid Empire, met his end in a dramatic confrontation with Roman consul Popillius Laenas. In the sands of Egypt, Laenas drew a circle around Antiochus, demanding he withdraw his army from Coele-Syria or face the consequences. The king, reluctant to defy the Roman Republic, complied, marking the beginning of the end for Antiochus' reign. This historical moment, immortalized in art through chromolithos and engravings, is depicted in 'The Martyrdom of the Seven Maccabees' and 'Fall of Antiochus From His Chariot.' Antiochus' defiance of Jewish religious laws and desecration of the Second Temple in Jerusalem had already sparked rebellion, leading to his ultimate capture of the city. The circle in the sand became a symbol of Roman power and the beginning of the end for Antiochus IV Epiphanes' reign of terror.
