Found in the ancient ruins of Arsameia, outside Kahta, Turkey, 15 km from the world heritage site of Nemrut Dagi, this stele portrays the meeting of Antiochus I (r. 70 BCE - c. 38 BCE) and Apollo. Antiochus - the ruler of the Commagene kingdom - thought himself a god of sorts, so it is no wonder he felt confident enough to shake the hand of a god. The stele is found on the hill dedicated to Antiochus' father, Mithridates.
