Definitions

en
Nikokles (Greek: Νικοκλῆς; d. 306 BC) was a king of Paphos on the island of Cyprus. As king, he changed the capital of Paphos, from the old one to the new one. In 321 BC, he allied himself with Ptolemy I to fight against Perdiccas and Antigonus. He is first attested on the Alexander coinage of Paphos, c. 325-317 BC. See M. J. Price, Coinage in the Name of Alexander the Great and Philip Arrhidaeus (London/Zurich, 1994), no. 3118. There are also issues in his name on coinage also signed by the people of Paphos.
