Vima Kadphises (reverse)
50–78 CE
Location: 242A Ancient India
Description
The reverse depicts the figure of Hercules with the skin of the Nemean lion draped over his forearm and the lion's scalp also worn over his head. The Kushans primarily identified with Zoroastrian religious practice, but imagery on their coins and the religious groups they sponsored suggest they were ecumenical--open to supporting a wide range of sects.- 1999–The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
