§ 12. Graeco-Bactrian influence. — But, until the beginning of the 2nd cent. b.c., no extensive modification of the native Indian coinage had been caused by foreign influence. It was from the kingdom of Bactria, established by Diodotus (**Plate I, 9**), who revolted from the Seleucid sovereign Antiochus II, c. b.c. 248, that there came eventually the influence which completely changed the form and character of the coinage of N.W.India (v. inf. § 18).
