The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The main phase of the revolt lasted from 167 to 160 BCE and ended with the Seleucids in control of Judea, but conflict between the Maccabeean Jews, Hellenized Jews, and the Seleucids continued until 134 BCE, with the Maccabees eventually attaining independence.
- Seleucid King Antiochus IV Epiphanes launched a campaign of repression against the Jewish religion in 168 BCE.
- The reason he did so is not entirely clear, but it seems to have been related to the King mistaking an internal conflict among the Jewish priesthood as a full-scale rebellion.
