Seleucus VI Epiphanes Nicator was a Seleucid monarch who ruled Syria between 96 and 94 BC. He ascended the throne after the assassination of his father, Antiochus VIII. Antiochus VIII's half-brother and rival, Antiochus IX, then occupied the capital Antioch while Seleucus VI established his power-base in western Cilicia and himself prepared for war. In 95 BC, Antiochus IX marched against his nephew, but lost the battle and was killed. Seleucus VI became the master of the capital but had to share Syria with his brother Demetrius III, based in Damascus, and his cousin, Antiochus IX's son Antiochus X.
