Indo-Greek King who ruled in the areas of Arachosia and Gandhara in the north of modern Pakistan · Historical Figures
Menander II Dikaios may have been an Indo-Greek King who ruled in the areas of Arachosia and Gandhara in the north of modern Pakistan. However, since he is entirely known through his coins, this may have just been a separate set of coins issued by Menander I with a different epithet.
Menander II is read about 16 times a day, in 10 languages.
A typical day, 30 days to 15 June 2026
