Who is Heliokles II? An evergreen, sourced profile: biography, key facts and career.
Heliocles II Dicaeus (Ancient Greek: Ἡλιοκλῆς Δίκαιος, romanized: Hēlioklēs Dikaios; epithet means "the just") is thought to have been one of the later Indo-Greek kings and a relative of the Bactrian king Heliocles I. Current scholarly consensus is that he ruled ca 95–80 BC. Heliocles II seems to have been engaged in a series of wars with Strato I in Gandhara and Punjab; the two share several mintmarks and Heliocles II overstruck many of his coins. During this period, a number of kings fought for hegemony in the Indo-Greek territories. Some of them were likely supported by nomad Saka rulers such as Maues.
