v1.c32.3

The extent of Asoka's empire can be judged from his rock and pillar edicts. The Kandahar rock edict has an inscription in Greek and Aramaic which shows that among his subjects were Greeks as well as Iranians. There are rock edicts at Mansehra and Shahbazgarhi in the North-West Frontier Province (Pakistan). Along the west coast are edicts at Girnar, Junagadh and Sopara. There is a replica of rock edict of Girnar placed in front of the building of the National Museum, New Delhi (Fig. 177). In the south are rock edicts at Siddapura and Maski. In the east are the rock edicts at Dhauli and Jaugada (Fig. 178).
