Antialcidas

r. c. 115–95 BCE · 2nd century BCE

Antialcidas was an Indo-Greek king who ruled from Taxila in the late 2nd century BCE. He is known from his coins and from the Heliodorus pillar at Vidisha in central India, set up by his Greek ambassador Heliodorus, who called himself a devotee of Vasudeva. The inscription is among the earliest evidence of a Greek adopting a Hindu cult.
