<p>[QUOTE="THCoins, post: 4535579, member: 57364"]I know about the long discussion whether "Dhramikasa" should be interpreted as "follower of the Dharma" and thus as evidence that the Indo-Greek kings, starting with Menander, were devout Bhuddists. I am not convinced. I already mentioned the "Epiphanous" title used by Stratos. His mother Agathokleia on one coin is named "Theotropou", or god-like. These additional titles seem to contradict the Bhuddist hypothesis.</p><p>The "Just" concept is not only seen in the titles of the Indo-Greeks, but later also in Indo-Scythians and Kushan. Even centuries later, many coins in the region have the title "al-Adil", again "just", but now in Arab, without Bhuddist connotation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
