  • January 162 BC: Timarchus was a usurper in the Seleucid empire between 163-160 BC who managed to extend his realm into Babylonia (162 BC), where records of his reign were inscribed into the astronomical calendars.
  • January 159 BC: Timarchus' forces were however not enough for the legal Seleucid king: Demetrius defeated and killed Timarchus in 160 BC, and the Seleucid empire was temporarily united again.
