'''Agesiles''' or '''Arseiles''' ([[Greek alphabet|Greek]]: ΑΡϹΕΙΛΗϹ ''Arseilēs''), who reigned around 20BC-1BC, is, with [[Sapadbizes]], one of the first identified kings of the northern Indo-European [[Yuezhi]] tribes, that had invaded the [[Greco-Bactrian]] kingdom in the region of [[Bactria]] (modern-day northern Afghanistan) from around 125 BC. This king is known only from his coins, which are very rare. His name could be derived from the Tocharian word Arsal, "snake" or "viper".<br />
