| Additional information |
Evagoras II ruled Salamis as a client of Persia after his father Nicocles was deposed, a political arrangement that made him deeply unpopular among Cypriots and ultimately untenable. He was expelled from Salamis around 351 BC and fled to the Persian court, where he was later murdered — ending a dynasty that had governed the city-kingdom for generations. Coins from his reign are scarce precisely because it was short, contested, and closed with abrupt exile rather than orderly succession.
