Azes I

Tetradrachm of the Indo-Skythian Kingdom Period ca. 58/12 BC; Material: Silver; Diameter: 24mm; Weight: 9.73g; Mint:; Uncertain in western Gandhara; Reference: HGC 12 637, Senior 98.350T; Obverse: The King riding on the right, raising his hand and holding a whip, letter kharosthi in the field. The Inscription reads: ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΝ ΜΕΓΑΛΟΥ ΑΖΟΥ; Reverse: Athena standing right, raising her hand and holding a spear and a shield, two monograms in the fields. Kharoshthi legend.

 

Comments: Azes I (died probably around 35 BC) was an Indo-Scythian king who ruled from about 57-35 BC. Azes I is known mainly from his coins. He seems to have defeated the last important Indo-Greek king Hippostratos. He overstruck the latter's coins, no doubt as a sign of victory. His own coins have legends in Greek and Kharoshthi. They are silver and copper coinage. They show Greek (Zeus) and Hindu deities and motifs. The obverse often depicts a rider with a horse or camel. They were minted at Pushkalavati (Gandhara), at Taxila and at an unspecified place on the Indus. With Azes I a new era began, which according to many researchers started in 58 BC and later became known as the Malwa or Vikrama era. Other researchers prefer the beginning of the era with the year 45 BC and see no connection to the Malwa/Vikrama era.

Link: Concordia

Julia Paula, Augusta, first wife of Elagabalus in a marriage arranged by his grandmother Julia Maesa, 219-220, she was stripped of her title after the divorce and is unknown afterwards. Denarius, Rome, 220. IVLIA PAVLA AVG Draped bust of Julia Paula to right. Rev. CONCORDIA Concordia seated left, holding patera in her right hand and leaning with her left elbow on throne; in field to left, star. RIC 211.

"Tristran — who knew about as much of the lady personally as you or I can — has remarked that Julia was beautiful. His taste is certainly not a modern one, as her effigy represents her with a sharp beaky face, and a long scraggy neck. This author, with some show of fairness, attempts to justify his statement by a truism, namely, that the Emperor was such a connoisseur of beauty that he would never have chosen a lady who had not this necessary qualification." one of many comical observations from "The Amazing Emperor Heliogabalus", J. Stuart Hay, 1911 - a book that  seems to offer more information about the early 20th century than the time of Elagabalus & Julia Paula.
