The very rare tetradrachms of Demetrios III from Cilicia are not only the only ones to depict him without a beard, but they also feature completely different epithets from those found on coins from Antiochia and Damaskos, where the king is referred to as Theos Philopator Soter ('the god, the father-loving savior'). In contrast, the Cilician coins use the epithets Philometor Euergetes ('mother-loving' and 'benefactor')
