Coins of Theophilos
Just like Zoilos I, Theophilos struck Indian silver coins with Herakles, a common symbol of the house of Euthydemus I, and the epithet Dikaios/Dhramikasa "The Just/Follower of the Dharma". The monograms are mostly the same as those of Nicias. The bronzes have similar inscriptions.
Bronzes of Theophilos:
-
Herakles with lion skin, and his club on the reverse.
-
Bust of Herakles, with cornucopia on reverse.
