Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 07/28/2019 06:51 am Recent pick up from Finn Rajuvula was an Indo-Scythian Satrap (governor) who ruled the area of Mathura in and around the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh from around 10-25 CE. He supposedly invaded Eastern Punjab replacing the last two Indo-Greek kings Strato I and his son Strato II, with his coins copying the Greek design. Indo-Scythian Satrap (Governor) Rajuvula 10-25 CE Billon Drachm Obverse..Bust of king right, crude Greek legend around BASILEPS SPYROS (the affluent or rich)? Reverse..Athena Alkidemos standing left, holding horizontal shield on outstretched left arm, hurling thunderbolt with right hand, monograms at left and right, Kharoshthi legend around: chatrapasa apratihatachakrasa rajuvulasa "the Satrap Rajuvula whose discus (cakra) is irresistible".

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 07/29/2019 4:56 pm Nice selection I can't see much of the obverse legend on any of the coins, but I think it is a good bit longer than the purported BASILEPS SPYROS - I can definitely see an N on your coin at about 10:00. As for the reverse, I have often wondered about the use of "Chakra". Not something I really know a lot about, but I wonder if a more accurate translation would be something more along the lines of "...whose laws are unbreakable" Report this Post to the Staff
