		Kujula issued an extensive series of coins and fathered at least two sons, Sadaá¹£kaá¹a (who is known from only one inscription, and may never have ruled), and Vima Taktu.
		Vima Kadphises was the son of Vima Taktu and the father of Kanishka I. He issued an extensive series of coins and inscriptions.
		According to the Rabatak inscription, Kanishka was the son of Vima Kadphises, the grandson of Vima Taktu, and the great-grandson of Kujula Kadphises.

		Kharoshti legend: KUJULA KASASA KUSHANA YAVUGASA DHARMATHIDASA "Kujula Kadphises the Pious ("of the Dharma"), Ruler of the Kushans".
		Kharoshti legend: KHUSHANA YAUASA KAPHASA SACHA DHARMATIDASA "Kujula Kadphises, Ruler of the Kushans, and Pious (of the "Dharma").
		Kujula Kadphises (30-80 CE) (Kushan language: ΚΟΖΟΛΑ ΚΑΔΑΦΕϹ, Pali: Kujula Kasasa, Ancient Chinese:丘就卻) was a Kushan prince who united the Yuezhi confederation during the 1st century CE, and became the first Kushan emperor.

		Kujula Kadphises' coins are found across the territories conquered by Qiu-jiu-que as the first Kushan coins issued in the area.
		The relationship between Kujula Kadphises and the Indo-Parthian king Gondophares is of vital importance in identifying the absolute chronological context of Kujula Kadphises (Cribb 1993).
		Kujula Kadphises' bull and camel coinage, issued in imitation of Zeionises' copper coins, survives in many varieties and was perhaps produced over a longer period than his issues in the Taxila region.

		At a depth of 2.10 meters was discovered a coin of Kujula Kadphises, founder of the Kushan dynasty sometime in the early to mid-first century CE.
		In addition, the locations of the coins and their relations to one another were not described in detail in the excavation reports, and the distances between and among the coins which were noted are so small that it is difficult confidently to ascribe the significance of separate ‘layers’ to them.
		But a coin of Vima Kadphises, Kujula’s son and successor, was located deeper than that of the earlier king, just the opposite of the situation which would exist if the ‘layers’ corresponded in a linear fashion to the successive eras.

		Kujula Kadphises probably rose to prominence sometime around the first quarter of the early 1st century AD and had united the Da Yuezhi by about 40 AD.
		His son was known as Vima (Wima) Taktu, or Yan Gaozhen in Chinese sources, and inherited the Kushana throne from Kujula probably during the middle-third quarter of the 1st century AD.
		During his reign, the kingdom recorded in Chinese sources known as Tianzhu (or sometimes known as Juandu), which most likely referred to a kingdom in the Indus River valley in northwestern India, was conquered by Vima Taktu and their king killed, with a Da Yuezhi/Kushana general established there to rule over the people of Tianzhu.

	N281
		The origins of the Kushans were the group of nomads called by the Chinese "Yueh-chi," that were pushed out of Xinjiang-Mongolia late in the 2nd century BC by the Xiung-nu (probably the "Huns") and moved south and west, eventually displacing the Scythians (Sakas) in Afghanistan.
		Their first conquest was Bactria south of the Oxus, under their ruler, Kujula Kadphises, from where they advanced south, east and west to give them an immense empire covering modern Afghanistan and Pakistan as far east as the Indus and the Punjab and the Ganges Valley as far as Allahabad or Benares.
		The chronology is hazy but Kujula seems to have first made himself master of the Kabul Valley, and then annexed Gandhara as far as the Indus, conquering it from the successor of the Parthian, Gondophares.

		On the coins issued by the dynasty's first ruler, Kujula Kadphises (the Chinese called him Kiu Tsiu-Kio), one may find the Greek dieties Hercules and Zeus, the bull and the two humped camel, or a seated figure considered to be that of Buddha.
		This early coinage was derived from the last Bactrian Greek ruler Hermaeus whose name and bust appear on the observe and those of Kujula Kadphises on the reverse.
		Kujula's successor, Vima, adopted the symbol of Shiva and the bull, which appeared on his and his successors' coins, and continued in vogue right up to the advent of the Muslim rule.

	The COININDIA Coin Galleries: Heraios
		The attribution of the Heraios coins to Kujula is attractive, since we had no clear idea who "Heraios" the Kushan was, and Cribb's argument is gaining wide acceptance.
		Further, even if the reading is correct, we cannot be sure that this means the silver coins were issued by Kujula Kadphises.
		Kujula's son and successor, Vima Takto, issued no silver coins as far as we know.

	The Kushan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		This was about the middle of the first century A.D. The Kushans overthrew the Saka-Parthian princes and established an empire which became one of the world's greatest and most distinguished both from the point of view of territory as well as cultural and religious achievements.
		As he grew stronger, the leader of the Kushans extended his suzerainship to the lands south of the Hindu Kush, in the Kabul Basin and on the Upper Indus.
		Kujula Kadphises's successors, the most prominent of whom was Kanishka (circa A.D. 78-120) kept on the expansive policy of his subcontinent (Kashmir, the Punjab and Sind).

		It appears that Kujula's empire was not long-lived, as there is evidence that the Indo-Parthian ruler Gondophares seized much of his territory.
		The first copper coins of Kujula Kadphises were derivative from the AE tetradrachms of the Indo-Greek ruler Hermaios.

		The latter then reputedly departed to Madras, where he is commemorated as a founder of the South Indian Christian community, and a church is named in his honor.
		The numismatic sequence suggests that after the demise of the last Indo-Scythian emperor Azes II, not long before C.E. local rulers such as Indravarma and Sasan in Avacapura (Bajaur), Zeionises in Taxila, Kharahostes, and the Kushan prince Kujula Kadphises west of the Indus, were competing for domination of Gandhara (q.v.).
		Ernst Herzfeld maintained that the dynasty of Gondophares represented the house of Suren, highest of the five premier families of Arsacid Iran, invested with the hereditary right of commanding the royal armies, and placing the crown on the king's head at the coronation.

		Kujula Kadphises (30-80 AD) established the Kushan dynasty in 78 AD by taking advantage of disunion in existing dynasty of Pahalava (Parthian) and Scytho-Parthians, and gradually wrested control of southern prosperous region, which is the northwest part of ancient India, traditionally known as Gandhara (now Pakistan).
		It was his grandson Vima Kadphises (Yen-kao-chen in Chinese record) who made Kushan a paramount power of northern India.
		The portraits on Kushana gold/copper coins of Vima Kadphises are amazingly individualistic, often showing him full-bearded, big-nosed, fierce looking warrior chieftain, perhaps with deformed skull, wearing high helmet, tunic, overcoat and felt boots.
