Pantaleon (Greek: Πανταλέων) was a Greek king who reigned some time between 190–180 BCE in Bactria and India. He was a younger contemporary or successor of the Greco-Bactrian king Demetrius and is sometimes believed to have been his brother and/or subking. He was the first Greek king to strike Indian coins peculiar irregular bronzes which suggests he had his base in Arachosia and Gandhara and wanted support from the native population. The limited size of his coinage indicates a short reign.
