¹ The evidence, such as it is, is as follows:—(1) The ‘bust of Athena helmeted’ which appears on coins of Menander (Pl. VI, 15) is perhaps a portrait of Agathocleia, like the similar bust on coins which she strikes in association with Strato (Pl. VII, 25); (2) the figure of a warrior king on the reverse of certain coins struck by Agathocleia during Strato’s minority and bearing her own portrait may be supposed to represent the late king (*Corolla Numismatica*, Pl. XII, 4): a similar figure occurs as the obverse type on coins of Menander, where it is most naturally explained as that of Menander himself (Lahore Cat., Pl. VI, 515).
