Alexander fled from Antioch to rally his forces at a chosen location to the east. Between this time and the arrival of Demetrios' forces, Antioch struck a very short series of tetradrachms and drachms in the name of Antiochos IV, which is confirmed by the dated tetradrachm issues. While the chronology is certain, the purpose of the issue remains unknown.
