<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Co1ns, post: 2751680, member: 87765&quot;]OK, so it&#039;s historically inaccurate/incorrect to call Apollodotos I, Menander, Apollodotos II etc and their coins Bactrian / Baktrian. Culturally these rulers and coins are very much Bactrian / Greek /Macedonian, though they didn&#039;t rule/issue coins in Bactria, but rather in Gandahara / Punjab / the &#039;Indo-Greek Kingdom&#039;. In fact, Baktria and the Indo-Greeks are actually at war with each other during the reign of Menander.</p><p><br /></p><p>Glad I learned some more, though this whole thing started with me searching for Baktrian coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Edit considering TH&#039;s simultaneous post:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Great summary!</p><p><br /></p><p>That Zoilos II actually looks strikingly similar to some of the apparent Apollodoto II variations I saw earlier on VCoins ...
