Euthydemus II (Greek:Εὐθύδημος,Euthýdēmos) was aGreco-Bactrian king who ruled inBactria in 185–180 BCE.

Rule

[edit]

Son ofDemetrius I of Bactria, Euthydemus II became king in the 180s BCE, either after his father's death or as a sub-king to him. The style and rare nickel alloys of his coins associates him closely in time with the kingAgathocles but their precise relation remains uncertain. Euthydemus is pictured as a boy on his coins and most likely died very young.

He was the lastEuthydemid ruler of the Greco-Bactrian Kingdom and perhaps related with kingXiutu of Gansu.^[1]
