Commagene was an ancient Hellenistic kingdom located in modern-day Turkey. Established around the 2nd century B.C., Commagene was ruled by a branch of the Orontid dynasty that combined Iranian and Greek cultural influences. Today, Commagene is mostly known due to the famous monument on the peak of mount Nemrut, built by Antiochus I. In this video we will talk about the history of Commagene, beggining with its independence from the Seleucid empire and concluding with the annexation of the kingdom by the Roman Empire. We will also analyze the magnificent monument of mount Nemrut. • 00:00 - 02:24 Introduction • 02:25 - 04:03 Landscape and Culture • 04:04 - 07:44 Chronological History: Part 1 • 07:45 - 15:21 Mount Nemrut Monument • 15:23 - 23:34 Chronological History: Part 2 • Music kindly provided by: • Stefanos Krasopoulis/Στέφανος Κρασοπούλης: ‪@stefanoskrasopoulis‬ • A Big Thank You to my Patreon members: Robert G Ferrick • You can follow me on Patreon if you want: / historicaladventure • Sources: • Stefan R Hauser, ‘Hellenized Iranians?
