Historical background


BACTRIA - BACTRIAN KINGDOM - HERMAEUS

(90-70 BC)

Hermaios is depicted on some Indian stallion tetradrachms with Calliope, his consort. Hermaios, one of the last Indo-Greek kings of Bactria, never reigned in Gandhara and his coins are not found on the site of Taxila. The posthumous coinage for Hermaios is by far the most important since it was made until 40 AD, more than a hundred years after the death of the monarch..
