<p>[QUOTE=&quot;De Orc, post: 480203, member: 4408&quot;]Well two more today both rather interesting, still need to do some reserch on the second but here is a bit of history on the 1st</p><p><br /></p><p>Indo Sythian Billion Drachm of Rujuvula&nbsp; 10Bc 10Ad</p><p><br /></p><p>The Indo-Scythians are a branch of the Indo-Iranian Sakas (Scythians), who migrated from southern Siberia into Bactria, Sogdiana, Arachosia, Gandhara, Kashmir, Punjab, and into parts of Western and Central India, Gujarat and Rajasthan, from the middle of the 2nd century BCE to the 4th century CE. The first Saka king in India was Maues or Moga who established Saka power in Gandhara and gradually extended supremacy over north-western India. Indo-Scythian rule in India ended with the last Western Satrap Rudrasimha III in 395 CE.</p><p><br /></p><p>The invasion of India by Scythian tribes from Central Asia, often referred to as the Indo-Scythian invasion, played a significant part in the history of India as well as nearby countries. In fact, the Indo-Scythian war is just one chapter in the events triggered by the nomadic flight of Central Asians from conflict with Chinese tribes which had lasting effects on Bactria, Kabol, Parthia and India as well as far off as Rome in the west.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Scythian groups that invaded India and set up various kingdoms, may have included besides the Sakas other allied tribes, such as the Parama Kambojas, Bahlikas, Rishikas and Paradas.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rajuvula was an Indo-Scythian Great Satrap (Mahakshatrapa) who ruled in the area of Mathura in northern India in the years around 10 CE. In central India, the Indo-Scythians conquered the area of Mathura over Indian kings around 60 BCE. Some of their satraps were Hagamasha and Hagana, who were in turn followed by Rajuvula.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rajuvula is thought to have invaded the last of the Indo-Greek territories in the eastern Punjab, and killed the last of the Indo-Greek kings, Strato II and his son.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/956729.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And the second</p><p><br /></p><p>Maitrikas of Vallabhi-Bhakta Mahaamata 470 Ad Ar Drachm</p><p><br /></p><p>Anonymous Maitrika ruler of Vallabhi </p><p>470 - 800 AD, Saurashtra </p><p>AR drachm 2 gm </p><p>Bust of the ruler facing right </p><p>Rajno Maha kshatrapa Paramaditya </p><p>Bhakta Mahasamanta Sri Sarvya </p><p>Bhattaraka, Prongs with short handle</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/956730.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/956730.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/956730.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Hope that you guy&#039;s like them :hug:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
