	Eucratides I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eucratides came to the throne by toppling the dynasty of Euthydemus I, whose son Demetrius had conquered western India.
		Numismatic evidence suggests that Eucratides I was a contemporary of the Indo-Greek kings Apollodotus I, Antimachus II and Menander I.
		^ "Eodem ferme tempore, sicut in Parthis Mithridates, ita in Bactris Eucratides, magni uterque uiri regna ineunt." Justin XLI,6

		It is unclear whether he was a Bactrian official who raised a rebellion, or, according to some scholars, a cousin of the Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes who was trying to regain the Bactrian territory.
		Eucratides became the new ruler of Bactriana while Demetrius's rule was confined to the Punjab, which thus became the Indo-Greek Kingdom.
		The successor Eucratides was Heliocles I (145-130 B.C.), who was the last Greek king to reign in Bactria.

		The usurper Eucratides managed to eradicate the Euthydemid dynasty and occupy territory as far as he Indus, between 170 and 145 BCE.
		Eucratides was then murdered by his son, whereafter Menander I seems to have regained all of the territory as far west as the Hindu-Kush
		Following the 125 BCE invasion of the Paropamisadae and Arachosia by the Greco-Bactrian king Heliocles, son of Eucratides, the descendants of Euthydemus retreated to their territories from Gandhara to Mathura in the east, where they ruled until around 100 BCE.

	Eucratides II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eucratides II was a Greco-Bactrian king who was a successor and probably a son of Eucratides I.
		It seems likely that Eucratides II ruled for a relatively short time after the murder of his namesake, until he was dethroned in the dynastic civil war caused by the same murder.
		During his earlier years, Eucratides II may have been a co-regent of his father: on his later coins he adds the title Soter (Saviour), which could be an indication that he now ruled in his own right.

		Clearly, Eucratides was considered one of the most important of all the Bactrian kings, but we cannot begin to reconstruct his reign without direct recourse to our major informant—the silver and gold coinage which bears his name.
		This massive 20-stater coin is of the standard Eucratides type, with portrait of the king on the obverse wearing a commander's cloak, a royal diadem and a great plumed helmet decorated with the ears and horns of a bull.
		With the assassination of Eucratides, the eastern Greek cities of Bactria began to fall to the nomadic tribes of the Russian steppes.

		BACTRIA), he is called " the great King Eucratides." On one his portrait and name are associated on the reverse with those of Heliocles and Laodice; Heliocles was probably his son, and the coin may have been struck to celebrate his marriage with Laodice, who seems to have been a Seleucid princess.
		On his return from India Eucratides was (about 150 B.C.) murdered by his son, whom he had made co-regent (Justin 41, 6).

		It is felt by Cambridge that Eucratides I ended his rule in 155 BC after 16 years and that Eucratides II was in power from 155-135 BC.
		The tetradrachm of Eucratides which I now believe is Eucratides II, with the old portrait is clearly the same individual; the beak-like nose, the lips, and the set of the eye are all the same.
		This portrait is not Eucratides II but could be a young Eucratides I or a third short lived Eucratides as there are not many coins known of this type and none in the current hoard.

		Eucratides campaigned extensively in northwestern India, and ruled on a vast territory as indicated by his minting of coins in many Indian mints, possibly as far as the Jhelum River in Punjab.
		In a rather confused account, Justin explains that Eucratides was killed on the field by "his son and joint king", who would be his own son, either Eucratides II or Heliocles I (although there are speculations that it could be his enemy\'s son Demetrius II).
		It is not clear whether the incursion of the Yueh-Chih consisted in an invasion of the Greco-Bactrian territory, or possibly a resettlement in front of the Xiongnu attacks from the north, reminiscent of the Roman practice of the foederati.

		Eucratides rose in revolt, the Parthians took two of the western provinces, and he and Demetrius fought a series of battles.
		The argument for considering Eucratides to be a member of the Seleucid family rests mainly on coinage, in which Eucratides adopted many of the Seleucid traits; but it seems plausible enough, and since there’s no evidence to disprove it, for the purposes of this argument it does make sense.
		Eucratides was slain by his son Apollodotus around 156 BC; but shortly afterwards Apollodotus was slain by his brother, Heliocles[1], and then the barbarians invaded.

		Heliocles II seems to have been the successor of Strato I in Punjab — the two share several coin-marks.
		Still, the coins of Heliocles II are quite unlike those of the "Eastern" house to which Strato belonged; instead, he is more readily associated with the "Western" house of Eucratides I and Heliocles I.
		The portraits of the coins of the second Heliocles are very alike those of Antialcidas who seems to have been an important Western king.

		On the basis of archeological data from Ai Khanum [AÚy K¨a@nom] in Afghanistan, the French excavators showed that, once the Greek establishment of the city was burnt down, the Greek settlers never returned.
		Far from being a chance coincidence, the fact that the issues stop with Eucratides I's reign is surely explained by one event, the nature of which became clear through the excavation: a sudden catastrophe which struck the city, burning down the palace and bringing the existence of the city to an end.
		Most of the coins in the Qunduz hoard are indeed posthumous imitations of Eucratides I and Heliocles I.

		Once again a lengthier analysis of this phenomenon and a discussion of whether this represented a new direction or merely a recovery to the levels reached by Bactria before Alexander's devastation of the region would have been useful at this point.
		The kingdom of Bactria itself is then dealt with in four chapters which discuss the area's secession from Seleucid rule under Diodotus, the rise of the Euthydemids, the kingdom's expansion under Demetrius, and finally the usurpation and rule of Eucratides.

		In fact, Eucratides called himself "the Great" long before that title was given to Alexander by the Romans.
		In Greek mythology, they were the sons of Zeus who would suddenly appear in a crisis to save the day, much like Eucratides himself, who wrestled the Bactrian throne from a faltering dynasty.

		The third king of the Parthians was Priapatius; but he was also called Arsaces, for, as has just been observed, they distinguished all their kings by that name, as the Romans use the titles of Caesar and Augustus.
		Almost at the same time that Mithridates ascended the throne among the Parthians, Eucratides began to reign among the Bactrians; both of them being great men.
		Eucratides, however, carried on several wars with great spirit, and though much reduced by his losses in them, yet, when he was besieged by Demetrius king of the Indians, with a garrison of only three hundred soldiers, he repulsed, by continual sallies, a force of sixty thousand enemies.

		Demetrius is said to have returned to Bactria with 60,000 men to oust the usurper, but he apparently was defeated and killed in the encounter.
		Following the loss of Bactria to Eucratides in 170 BC, the House of Euthydemus was left with its territories in India, where they continued to rule on the totality, and from 125 BC the Eastern part, of the Indo-Greek Kingdom until the beginning of the 1st century CE.

		According to some scholars, he ruled from about 190 to about 167, when he was killed by Eucratides, who then became king.
		Other scholars, however, contend that it was a younger Demetrius (likewise a Bactrian king but not directly related to the son of Euthydemus) who made conquests in India, of a less extensive kind, and lost his kingdom to Eucratides after reigning from about 180 to 165.
		The fact that one of these two men was the first to strike coins with a bilingual inscription in Greek and Prakrit suggests that he pursued a policy of treating the Indian peoples and the Bactrian Greeks as equals.
