Antiochus IV Epiphanes
Laodice appears to have come from obscure origins. Laodice could not have been a supposed daughter of the Seleucid King Antiochus IV Epiphanes., although such has been proposed in literature, because Mithradates III of Pontos died before Antiochos IV yet had children, in other words the chronology is impossible. This incorrect proposition is based on the assumption that the sister of Alexander Balas who appeared in Rome with him in 153 BC as a genuine daughter of Antiochus IV Epiphanes was the Laodice who married Mithridates III.
