v1.c14.72
There was only one coin of the type in which the king is seated on clouds with the figure of the Sun-god, MIORO or MITHRO, on the reverse.⁷ Another of the same type bears on the reverse the figure of the Fire-god.⁸ six of these coins show the king seated on a throne but half of them bear the figure of the Sun-god and the remaining three that of the Moon-god on the reverse.⁹ It is quite possible that when Northern and Southern Bihar were annexed to the empire of the great Kushans, Orissa and the Eastern Sea-board as far as the Rushikulyā and the Lānguliyā were also conquered.
