	Agathokleia
		Agathokleia was the first of several Indo-Greek rulers to depict a gesture of benediction made with the right hand, identical to the Buddhist vitarka Mudra.
		Agathokleia did not manage to keep the empire of her husband intact.
		Some of her subjects may have been reluctant to accept an infant king with a queen regent: unlike the western hellenistic kingdoms, almost all the rulers were depicted as grown men which may reflect the important role of the king as general among the Indo-Greeks and Graeco-Bactrians.

		All the coins of Agathokleia as Queen-Mother, where, middle-aged, she is alone on her coins with the bow and arrow quiver on the reverse, and arguably correspond to some of her first coin types, have mint marks identical to those of "Menander (II) the Just".
		Most historians and numismatist agree that Menander was succeeded by his Queen Agathokleia, who acted as regent to their son Strato I until he became an adult and took over the crown.

		According to this scenario, Menander I had to abandon most of his western territories (and therefore most, or all, of his mints) at the end of his reign, possibly as the Greco-Bactrians, led by Zoilos I, invaded northwestern India as they fled from the Yuezhi following the destruction of Ai-Khanoum around 140 BC.
