Notes:     Very rare. In AD 38, the Roman emperor Caligula gave the territory of Cilicia Traceia, including the city Selinos, to Antiochos IV, king of Commagene. Iotape was the wife and sister of Antiochos. Prior to their marriage and rule, both lived in Rome and were members of the influential court of Antionia Minor. Upon her death, Antiochos founded a city named after her that still exists today (Aytap, Turkey).
