Comments
Nahapana (meaning ‘protector of the clan’) was an important ruler of the Western Kshatrapas in north-western India who ruled Gujarat, Malwa and northern Konkan. He was descended from the Indo-Scythians and ruled during the 1st and 2nd centuries A.D. Scholars disagree on the exact dates but appear to agree that his reign ended in A.D. 124 when he was finally defeated by Gautamiputra Satakarni and tragically killed along with his entire family.
Description
