Antimachus II

Antimachus Nikephoros II was a Greco- Bactrian king. He is as good as by his numerous coins known but never show his portrait. Instead appears a Gorgon and a laurel wreath and on other series of coins a Nike and a king on a horse on them. Antimachus Nikephoros II reigned perhaps in Indian provinces, especially Arachosia has been proposed, where large numbers of his coins have been found. For this dominion also like the design of the coins speak, show no portraits, which is typical of Indian Coins.

Antimachus II, however, is also known by a tax document, which is presently located in Oxford, in which he dating I. (about 185-170 BC ) and an otherwise unknown king Eumenes named along with Antimachus. Antimachus Nikephoros II reigned, therefore, at least for a certain time together with these two rulers. Before this tax document was published, he was usually set a little later.
