| Additional information |
Evagoras II ruled Salamis as a client of the Persian Achaemenid empire, having been installed after the death of his father Nikokreon — or, by some accounts, after betraying him to the Persians. His reign ended when he fled to the court of Artaxerxes III, where he was eventually murdered. Gold staters from Salamis in this period are rare precisely because the city-kingdom's autonomy was tightening; Persian oversight constrained independent monetary ambition, making gold issues a political statement as much as a practical one.
