                                INDO-GREEK KINGS of BAKTRIA, Hermaios. Circa

                                Hermaios was the last Indo-Greek to rule in 
                                Gandhara and surrounding regions. After the 
                                Yuezhi captured the area they imitated his 
                                coinage, just as they did in Baktria after 
                                defeating Heliokles I some sixty years earlier.
