Mistakes

I cant edit the page and as the guy who wrote the article I would like to correct one thing. It is written that the son of Cleopatra Selene was deposed because Antioch and Damacus opted for foreign monarchs but this is wrong. The Seleucid monarchy by that time was decetralized and if a king was not accepted in a city, it doesnt mean he is deposed. Antiochus the thirteenth was not deposed, he simply was king in the cities under the control of his mother and thats where his coins where minted. So, its more accurate to remove the "deposed" part and simply state that he only ruled in the cities controled by his mother. Another thing, she was a queen regnant and this is why she is important but this isnt stated here. Also, Tigranes should be linked to Tigranes the Great.--Attar-Aram syria (talk) 01:17, 18 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hope you liked the blurb. Sometimes she was regnant and other times she wasn't. If you'll tell me when she was regnant, I'll see if the information can be included without making the blurb too long. - Dank (push to talk) 01:36, 18 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
Hey Dank, thanks for acting quick. The earliest coins of her son show her as queen regnant. So, she was queen regnant from the moment she declared her son king (83 BC-69 BC)... before that she was queen consort of three seleucid kings (103-92 BC).--Attar-Aram syria (talk) 01:42, 18 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
Okay, how does that look? - Dank (push to talk) 02:11, 18 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
