horseback with lance at rest; on the other, a radiate Zeus standing,
with bolt and sceptre, in an attitude of oriental slackness. The
pompous superscription is again bilingual.

Archebios, who reigned in the upper Kabul valley, gives more
animation to his Zeus by making the god not merely hold but
brandish the bolt (fig. 354)1 and in some cases substituting the
aigis for the sceptre (fig. 355)2. He also, following the example of
Antialkidas (fig. 356)3, issued square bilingual pieces in bronze with
a dignified bust of Zeus on one side and the caps of the Dioskouroi
on the other (fig. 357)*
