In the early 160's BCE, the Jewish people were undergoing an identity crisis of a sort.
The powerful influence of the Greek, or "Hellenistic", culture was drawing many away from what others saw as the correct path of the Jewish religion and culture.
In keeping with this vision, when Antiochos IV learned of the fighting in Jerusalem, he used the pretext of protecting the "Hellenized" Jews as an excuse to invade Jerusalem in 168 BCE.

 Schwartz: Antiochus IV Epiphanes in Jerusalem
I Macc dates the visit to 143 SE, which, virtually all agree, means 170/169 BCE and hence refers the aftermath of Antiochus’ first invasion of Egypt, but II Macc 5 reports his visit to Jerusalem only after the chapter opens with an explicit reference to Antiochus’ second invasion of Egypt.
This reconstruction is more reasonable than that in I Macc 1, as noted, insofar as it doesn’t require us to believe that the Jews twiddled their thumbs “until the ends of two years time” after a major attack on the Temple and removal of its central appurtenances.
So we conclude, with Tcherikover, that non-Hasmonean Jews rebelled against Seleucid rule in 168 BCE, and that it was their rebellion which elicited Antiochus’ massive attack on Jerusalem, the massacre and enslavement of multitudes of Jerusalemites, and the pillage of the Temple.

 414 Roman Comedy II (Terence), Classical Drama and Theatre
But his death in 168 BCE opened the door for new voices on the Roman stage, and onto these boards entered one of the greatest the Romans would ever produce, Publius Terentius Afer, known today as Terence.
Ancient sources report he died young and, since his last play was produced in 160 BCE, he was probably born between 195 and 185 and died in the early 150's ( note).
So, for instance, the Romans living in the next century (100-1 BCE) saw Terence's writing style as the model of their own—Julius Caesar himself composed a treatise on Terence's sermo purus ("clean dialogue"; note)—and professors in the Renaissance used his drama as a teaching tool.
