Hemi-Obol - Theophilus

Theophilus is among the most obscure of the Indo-Greek kings, known almost entirely from his coinage rather than any textual source. His precise placement in the dynastic sequence remains disputed — Bopearachchi positions him in the late Paropamisadae region around 90 BC, but the geographic and chronological assignment rests heavily on stylistic comparison and find-spot evidence rather than firm historical record.

The copper denominations of these peripheral Indo-Greek rulers circulated in a zone increasingly pressured by Scythian incursions from the north.
