| Additional information |
Apollodotus II ruled one of the last coherent Indo-Greek territories in the Punjab during a period when the kingdom was fragmenting under pressure from Scythian incursions from the northwest. His copper fractions are among the more frequently encountered Indo-Greek bronzes, suggesting reasonably sustained local production, though the political geography of his reign remains contested — some scholars overlap his territory with that of Hippostratos, a near-contemporary whose coins are sometimes found in the same hoards.
