Person
Agathocles of Bactria
king of the Greco-Bactrian state
Agathocles Dikaios is a Buddhist Indo-Greek king, who reigns between around 190 and 180 BCE.
He might have been a son of Demetrius and one of his sub-kings in charge of the Paropamisade between Bactria and India.
In that case, he was a grandson of Euthydemus whom he qualified on his coins as "Basileas Theos" (Greek for "God-King").
Agathocles was contemporary with or a successor of King Pantaleon.
He seems to have been attacked and killed by the usurper Eucratides, who took control of the Greco-Bactrian territory.
Little is known about him, apart from his extensive coinage.
