Rudrasena I (Saka king) httpsuploadwikimediaorgwikipediacommonsthu

Rudrasena I (r. 200 – 222) was a Saka ruler of the Western Satrap dynasty in the area of Malwa in ancient India.

He is mainly known from his coins. Several have a date in Brahmi numerals on the reverse (such as 142 Saka Era = 220 CE). The reverse shows a three-arched hill or Chaitya, with a river, a crescent moon and the sun, within a legend in Brahmi "Rajno Mahaksatrapasa Rudrasihaputrasa Rajno Mahaksatrapasa Rudrasenasa", "The great satrap Rudrasena, son of the great satrap Rudrasiha".
