The Greeks in Bactria and India c15.19

c15.19

Antimachus published his pedigree at the same time as Agathocles; it was of course the same from Euthydemus backwards, but only the Diodotus and Euthydemus coins are known;³ they show (see pp. 75 sq.) that Antimachus was a son of Euthydemus. The coins follow the same plan as those of Agathocles, but bear on the reverse the legend βασιλεύοντος ᾿Αντιμάχου θεοῦ, ‘Under the rule of Antimachus the god’; naturally the two series were issued by the two kings in collaboration, and for the same reason.
