c14.s10.t2.8

On the whole the early Gupta inscriptions carry further the regional styles of the third century A.D. They differ from the earlier inscriptions in the formation of the head-mark, in the evolution of the uniform medial vowel marks, and in the development of a few letters. The Kushāṇa style of the medial vowels persists in the coin epigraphy, which appears to have been largely influenced by that of the Kushāṇas.
