=== First reign in Antioch === [[File:Antiochus X Eusebes.jpg|thumb|Antiochus X bearded]] One of Antiochus X's first actions was to avenge his father;{{sfn|Lorber|Iossif|2009|p= 102}} in 94 BC, he advanced on the capital Antioch and drove Seleucus VI out of northern Syria into [[Cilicia]].{{sfn|Houghton|1989|p= 97}} According to Eusebius, the final battle between Antiochus{{nbsp}}X and Seleucus VI took place near the Cilician city of [[Mopsuestia]],{{sfn|Eusebius|1875|p= [https://books.google.com/books?id=1iNSAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA259 259]}} ending in Antiochus X's victory while Seleucus VI took refuge in the city, where he perished as a result of a popular revolt.{{sfn|Houghton|1989|p= 97}} During the Seleucid period, currency struck in times of campaigns against a rival or a usurper showed the king bearded,{{sfn|Lorber|Iossif|2009|p= 112}} and what seems to be the earliest bronze coinage of Antiochus{{nbsp}}X shows him with a curly beard,{{sfn|Lorber|Iossif|2009|p= 102}} while later currency, apparently meant to show the king in firm control of his realm, depicted Antiochus{{nbsp}}X clean shaven.{{sfn|Lorber|Iossif|2009|p= 103}} Early in 93 BC, the brothers of Seleucus VI, [[Antiochus XI Epiphanes|Antiochus XI]] and [[Philip I Philadelphus|Philip I]], avenged Seleucus VI by sacking Mopsuestia. Antiochus XI then advanced on Antioch, defeated Antiochus X, and expelled him from the city, reigning alone in the capital for few months.{{sfn|Houghton|Lorber|Hoover|2008|p=573}}
