Menander II is one of the most obscure rulers in the already poorly-documented late Indo-Greek sequence, reigning over Parapamisadae — roughly modern northeastern Afghanistan — during a period when the kingdom was fragmenting under pressure from Scythian incursions. His attribution was only firmly established in the twentieth century through die-link studies connecting his coinage to the broader Bopearachchi chronology. The Parapamisadae region would fall to the Indo-Scythians within a generation of his reign.
