^"ivuA ■*\1»nm (T^)*^l (u) Maharajo tdddro Dijamido.^ Only 

 one specimen from Beghram. The humped bull^ and the epi- 

 thet^ prove the right of position as here given . 



Agathokleia. Helmeted head, which must be the head of a 

 woman, with the upper part of the bust, and of the dress. Le- 

 gend, BA2IAI22A2 eEOnPOnO(Y) AFAOOKAEIAS. 

 Reverse, Hercules seated, in the right hand the club, placed 

 on his knee, with the left supporting himself, as on the coins 

 of Euthydemos. Legend, Maharajd tdddro Mikonido.f 



Howsoever we may read the name, it is certain, that we have 

 here a new king, whose epithet assign^ him a place among the 

 successors of Menandros. The place of discovery is not men- 

 tioned; the coin is, however, found in India. If any relation 

 is to be admitted between Euthydemos and Agathokles, we 

 may perhaps recognise another analogy in the fact, that Aga- 

 thokleia exhibits a type of the Euthydemos^ coins. She is cer- 

 tainly, however, the wife of the new king, mentioned only in 

 this place ; perhaps a heroine of masculine character, like Eury- 

 dike (the niece of Alexander, and grand-daughter of Philip), 

 whom her husband honored by associating her with himself up- 

 on his coins. May not the unusual epithet perhaps allude to 

 this fact ? X 



Hermaios, Uncovered diademed head of the king. Legend, 

 BADIAEQS 2QTHP0S EPMAIOY. Reverse, Olympian Ju- 

 piter, seated on his throne. Legend, mahdrdjd tdddro , hirmaj6.§ 



Uncovered head of the king, with diadem, the upper part of 

 the bust, and of the chlamys. Reverse, Olympian Jupiter seat- 

 ed, and extending his right hand. Legend as above described. || 



Head of the king, probably with diadem, the same Greek 

 legend ; the reverse has a horse ; and the native legend as 

 above described.^f

X I find OeoTpoTTog to be authorized by one passage alone in Heliodor. 

 Carm. v. 250, as an epithet to S^Xoc. Only one Greek king of these pro- 

 vinces, Antimachos, has styled himself God.
