Historical background


BACTRIA - BACTRIAN KINGDOM - EUCRATIDES II

(145-140 BC)

It is up to O. Bopearachchi to have confirmed the existence of two Eucratids. He has completely revised the chronology of these kings who reigned on the borders of Hellenism, at the gates of India, on the borders of present-day Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Eucratides I died assassinated by one of his sons around 145 BC. Was Eucratides II this one? He reigned for about five years over the kingdom of Bactria. He is a contemporary of Heliocles.
