Maues (Indo-Scythian king, c. 125-85 B.C)

From SILVER


Maues was the first Indo-Scythian king, ruling from 98/85 to 60/57 B.C. He invaded India and established Saka hegemony by conquering Indo-Greek territories. Maues issued joint coins mentioning a queen Machene ("ΜΑΧΗΝΗ"). Machene may have been a daughter of one of the Indo-Greek houses. An Indo-Greek king, Artemidoros, also issued coins where he describes himself as "Son of Maues".
