<p>[QUOTE=&quot;THCoins, post: 3238823, member: 57364&quot;]Agree fully with Finn&#039;s expert attribution, but for a small detail. For a date of 160 in the Saka era there would be only two number symbols behind the head of the ruler for 100 and 60. But there is a clear third behind that for the year units and that&#039;s a 7. So i think the full date is 167SE= 245AD.</p><p>The Western Satraps controlled the seaports used for Indo-Roman trading. It is quite likely that a large part of the Western Satrap drachms were made from Roman silver.</p><p>The Maitraka of Vallabhi drachm shown in the startpost is an intermediate type. The one shown by Severus Alexander is from a later period.</p><p>Below one from early in the Maitraka dynasty timeperiod. One may observe the clear similarity with the Gupta and Western Satrap type.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]847292[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
