Antiochus X recruited new soldiers and attacked Antioch the same year. He emerged victorious, while Antiochus XI drowned in the [[Orontes River]] as he tried to flee.{{sfn|Ehling|2008|p= 239}} Now Antiochus{{nbsp}}X ruled northern Syria and Cilicia;{{sfn|Lorber|Iossif|2009|p= 103}} around this time, Mopsuestia minted coins with the word "autonomous" inscribed. This new political status seems to have been a privilege bestowed upon the city by Antiochus X, who, as a sign of gratitude for Mopsuestia's role in eliminating Seleucus VI, apparently not just rebuilt it, but also compensated it for the damage it suffered at the hands of Seleucus VI's brothers.{{sfn|Sayar|Siewert|Taeuber|1994|pp= 127, 128}} In the view of the numismatist {{ill|Hans von Aulock|de|Hans von Aulock|lt=Hans von Aulock}}, some coins minted in Mopsuestia may carry a portrait of Antiochus X.{{#tag:ref|Several factors support assigning the portrait on the autonomous coins to Antiochus X. First, the city was anti-Seleucus VI, and the aforementioned king was defeated by Antiochus X, making it logical to assume that the latter was the monarch who gave the city its autonomy. Second, two of those coins bear what seems to be the monogram AKZ, which translates to the Seleucid year 224, i.e. 89/88 BC Gregorian, but the monogram is not securely read. This year is within the reign span of Antiochus X. Von Aulock did not affirm the attribution, and left the space open for the possibility that the king depicted is Seleucus VI, or maybe not even a Syrian king altogether.{{sfn|Von Aulock|1963|pp= 233, 234}} The portrait could be that of a god or a hero instead.{{sfn|Rigsby|1996|p= [https://books.google.com/books?id=0Y5Ur_7lPW4C&pg=PA471 471]}}|group=note}}{{sfn|Rigsby|1996|p= [https://books.google.com/books?id=0Y5Ur_7lPW4C&pg=PA471 471]}} Other cities minted their own civic coinage under the king's rule, including [[Tripoli, Lebanon|Tripolis]], [[Beirut|Berytus]],{{sfn|Mørkholm|1984|p= [https://books.google.com/books?id=6NLfAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA100 100]}}{{sfn|Murray|1991|p= [https://books.google.com/books?id=u6kC46vVRHYC&pg=PA54 54]}} and perhaps the autonomous city of [[Ashkelon|Ascalon]].{{#tag:ref|Ascalon, though not under the direct authority of the Seleucids, minted coinage bearing royal portraits; a coin dating to year 12 of Ascalon's autonomy, 222 SE (91/90 BC), bears a royal portrait resembling that of Antiochus X, and the numismatist Arnold Spaer suggested that it is possible, although he did not affirm it.{{sfn|Spaer|1984|p= 230}}|group=note}}{{sfn|Spaer|1984|p= 230}}

In the capital, Antiochus X might have been responsible for building a library and an attached museum on the model of the [[Library of Alexandria]].{{#tag:ref|The builder could also be Antiochus IX; according to Malalas, king Antiochus Philopator built the library with the money left for that purpose by a Syrian merchant named Maron who died in [[Athens]]. Three Seleucid kings bore the epithet Philopator: Antiochus IX, Antiochus{{nbsp}}X and [[Antiochus XII Dionysus|Antiochus XII]]; the latter can not be the builder since he only ruled [[Damascus]] and never took control of Antioch.{{sfn|Downey|2015|p= [https://books.google.com/books?id=gTTWCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA132 132]}}|group=note}}{{sfn|Sartre|2003|p= 295}} Philip I was probably centered at [[Aleppo|Beroea]]; his brother, [[Demetrius III Eucaerus|Demetrius III]], who ruled [[Damascus]], supported him and marched north probably in the spring of 93 BC.{{sfn|Ehling|2008|pp= 239, 241}} Antiochus{{nbsp}}X faced fierce resistance from his cousins.{{sfn|Ehling|2008|p= 241}} In the year 220 SE (93/92{{nbsp}}BC), the city of Damascus stopped issuing coins in the name of Demetrius III, then resumed the following year;{{sfn|Hoover|2007|p= 290}} this could have been the result of incursions by Antiochus X, which weakened his cousin and made Damascus vulnerable to attacks by the [[Judea|Judaean]] king [[Alexander Jannaeus]].{{sfn|Atkinson|2016|p= [https://books.google.com/books?id=SrfMDAAAQBAJ&pg=127 127]}}
