His son Alexander (Gaius Julius Alexander II) married Julia Iotapa a Commagenian princess and the daughter of King Antiochus IV of Commagene in Rome. Nero crowned Alexander and Iotapa as Roman client monarchs of Cetis, a small region in Cilicia, which was previously ruled by Antiochus IV of Commagene.
