I have no doubt whatever that the numismatic evidence alone—a class of evidence unduly depreciated by some historical students—proves conclusively that Kanishka lived at a time considerably later than the Christian era, subsequent to both Kadphises I and Kadphises II, and was exposed to the influence of the Roman empire. Many other lines of evidence, of great force when brought together, lead to the conclusion that Kanishka came to the throne early in the second century of the Christian era, and most probably in a. d. 120, directly succeeding Kadphises II.
