In a true combination of drama and tragedy, the former put his father Lysanias to death, and gave away his kingdom to the latter... Needless to say, both of them shared Lysanias' fate a few brief years later, and following Actium, some (Roman) justice was finally served, with the land returned - for a while, at least - to Lysanias' son Zenodoros by the victorious Octavian, and the whole deal generally commemorated the same year by this rare issue.
