Coins of Agathocleia and Strato (Pl. VII, 25), and others of Strato reigning alone (Pl. VI, 16), are sometimes found restruck with the types of Heliocles (Pl. VII, 35). The restruck coins of Strato bear the reverse-type ‘Victory,’ which was inherited by him either from Menander or from Agathocleia ruling in the name of Menander (Pl. VI, 15 and *Summary*, p. 588); and this type may not improbably be supposed to represent the city of Nicaea on the Jhelum (p. 551). We have here unmistakable evidence of a further transference of the dominions of the house of Euthydemus to the rival house of Eucratides, and a certain indication that the conflict which was begun by Eucratides in the time of Demetrius and Apollodotus, was continued by Heliocles in the reign of Strato.
