Kings and Coins in India

Morton R. Smith (Author)

Synopsis The present work seeks to establish a chronology that makes historical sense paying attention to the Indian information of the period of the Indo-Greek and Indo-Scythian kings down to the establishment of the Kushan dynasty. While recognizing that the most lasting Greek legacy is coinage with the issuer's name, and so not profoundly significant for culture, this should not be without use and interest.

About the author

Morton R. Smith

Prof. R. Morton Smith, a. pupil of Prof. E.H. Johnston & T. Burrow of Oxford has been studying Sanskrit for 60 years and after teaching at Cambridge for some years had been at Toronto since 1955. His interest has been on the human, artistic and historical sides of Indian culture and their development. He has published many articles on the Epic, early philosophy and religion of the 6-4th centuries BC, on the art and chronology in their formative periods. His book Dates & Dynasties of Earliest India (Delhi 1973) unravels the early chronology from a critical text of the Purana, showing that it transmits genuine information, offering a consistent but flexible chronology that fits the Brahmanic vamsas and the Buddhist account.
