This chapter proposes to read the sculptural program of the Philopappos Monument at Athens from the perspective of power and status of the Orontid{\textquoteright}s royal house of the kingdom of Commagene. Investigations will focus on the honorand{\textquoteright}s grandfather, Antiochus IV of Commagene, styled as a togate figure and sitting on a\&nbsp;sella curule, and how such choice can interpret Philopappus{\textquoteright} career. This chapter argues that the monumental fa{\c c}ade of the Commagenian king Philopappus defines the concept of client-kingship as a non-territorial Roman institution. Client-kings and their members were a class of their own within the Roman political hierarchy, and served bureaucratic functions.
