  Theodamas
Theodamas (1st century CE) seems to have been an Indo-Greek ruler in the Bajaur area of Gandhara, in modern Pakistan.
No coins of him are known, but he has left a signet bearing his name in kharoshthi script, which was found in the region of Bajaur.
Although after 50 BCE Indo-Greek rulers were replaced by the Indo-Scythians and then the Indo-Parthians, Greek culture was maintained to some extent (as indicated by the Greek-style coin types adopted by the conquerers, and the development of Greco-Buddhist art).
