It is probable that he extended his power to the mouths of the Indus and swept away, if they still existed, the petty Parthian princes who still ruled that region in the first century after Christ, but are heard of no more afterwards. The conquered Indian provinces were administered by military viceroys, to whom should be attributed the large issues of coins known to numismatists as those of the Nameless King, which are extremely common all over Northern India from the Kābul Valley to Ghāzīpur and Benares on the Ganges, as well as in Cutch (Kachchh) and Kāthiāwār.¹ - [Previous: c28.40](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c28.40) - [Next: c28.42](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c28.42) - [Up: c28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c28) ## Linked texts (2) - [Benares](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.benares) - [Ghazipur](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.ghazipur) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c28.41](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c28.41) · Pramāṇa
