Owner Comments:

Eucratides the Great was one of the most important Greco-Bactrian kings, descendants of dignitaries of Alexander the Great. The tetradrachm has a legend reading "of great king Eucratides". The dioscuri are pictured. In Greek and Roman mythology, Castor and Pollux were twin brothers, together known as the Dioskouri. Among others they were associated with horsemanship.
