تمثال ڤيما كادفيسس

Vima Kadphises (or possibly Vima Takto) on throne. The name of the ruler is mentioned in an epigraphic inscription at the feet of the statue. The inscription reads:

Kushanaputra (Shahi Vamataksha) masya
Vakanapatina Huma (devakulu) karita

Arama pushkarini udapana (cha) sa-da (kothako)

ڤيما كادفيسس (لغة الكوشان: Οοημο Καδφισης؛ الصينية الوسيطة المبكرة: 阎膏珍 وتُنطق jiam-kaw-trin ؛ إنگليزية: Vima Kadphises) كان امبراطوراً على الكوشان من حوالي 90–100 م. وحسب نقش رباطك، فقد كان ابن ڤيما تاكتو ووالد كانيشكا.

 النسب

The connection of Vima Kadphises with other Kushan rulers is described in the Rabatak inscription, which Kanishka wrote. Kanishka makes the list of the kings who ruled up to his time: Kujula Kadphises as his great-grandfather, Vima Taktu as his grandfather, Vima Kadphises as his father, and himself Kanishka:

"... for King Kujula Kadphises (his) great grandfather, and for King Vima Taktu (his) grandfather, and for King Vima Kadphises (his) father, and *also for himself, King Kanishka" (Cribb and Sims-Williams 1995/6: 80) Emperor Vima Kadphises expanded the Kushan territory in Afghanistan and north-west India, where he may have replaced the Indo-Scythian ruler Sodasa in Mathura.

He was the Kushan emperor to first introduce gold coinage, in addition to the existing copper and silver coinage. Most of the gold seems to have been obtained through trade with the Roman Empire. The gold weight standard of approximately eight grams corresponds to that of Roman coins of the 1st century. Gold bullion from Rome would be melted and used for the Kushan mints, into three denominations: the double stater, the stater, and the quarter starter (or dinara).

استخدام الذهب يشهد على الرخاء الذي كانت تعيشة إمبراطورية الكوشان من زمن ڤيما، being the center of trade between the أسرة هان في الصين (حيث كان ڤيما يُعرف بإسم 阎膏珍)، آسيا الوسطى and Alexandria and Antioch in the West. The Kushan were able to maintain and protect the طريق الحرير، allowing silk, spices, textiles or medicine to move between China, India and the West. In particular, many goods were sent by ship to the Roman empire, creating a return flow of gold coins, Greek wine and slaves. Works of arts were also imported from all directions, as indicated by the variety and quality of the artefacts found in the Kushan summer capital of Bagram in Afghanistan. A strong artistic syncretism was stimulated, as indicated by the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara.

Roman history relates the visit of ambassadors from the Indian kings to the court of Trajan (98–117 CE), bearing presents and letters in Greek, which were sent either by ڤيما كادفيسس أو ابنه كانيشكا.

Most of Vima's coins feature the Buddhist symbol of the Triratana on the reverse (or possibly Shiva's symbol for Nandi, the Nandipada), together with Hindu representations of Shiva, with or without his bull. Often time, a Trishul is depicted مع شيڤا.
