Strato II "Soter" (, ''Strátōn B΄ ho Sotḗr''; epithet means "the Saviour") was an Indo-Greek king. He ruled c. 25 BCE to 10 CE according to Bopearachchi. R. C. Senior suggests that his reign ended perhaps a decade earlier. ==Rule== Strato II ruled in the eastern Punjab, probably retaining the capital of Sagala (modern Sialkot, Pakistan), or possibly to the city of Bucephala (Plutarch, p. 48 n. 5). His territory was invaded by Rajuvula, Indo-Scythian king of Mathura, and he became the last of the Indo-Greek kings, together with his son〔R.C. Senior, ''Indo-Scythian coins and history. Volume IV''. The Greek legend clearly implies that the two kings were father and son, and Senior dismisses the older reading "grandson" on the Kharosthi legend.〕 Strato (III) Soter ''Philopator'' ("the father-loving"), who was included as joint regent on some of his coins and also issued coins on his own. A few silver coins with a different portrait and the inscription Strato Soter ''Dikaios'' ("the just") may also belong to Strato III as sole ruler, or to a fourth king named Strato.〔Senior, ibid.〕 Just like the earlier king Strato I, the last Stratons I are thought to belong to the dynasty of Menander I, who also used the epithet Soter and the symbol of standing Pallas Athena. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Strato II and III」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
