A separate king?

The historical sources mention only two Demetrii, the latter being defeated by Eucratides I, and the existence of a third king is hard to ascertain. While at least the nether coin displayed here is later than Demetrius I and Demetrius II, its obverse is a low-quality copy of the first Demetrius, including the title "Aniketos" which is associated with him. This rare coin might have been a commemorative issue of the legendary Demetrius I, struck by a city made temporarily independent by one of the conflicts of this period. In that case, there was no third Demetrius. King Eucratides (171-145 BC) Obv: Bust of Eucratides. ...
