Aanvullende informatie

The Yaudheyas were a kshatriya republican confederacy occupying the Punjab and Haryana regions, known from Panini's Ashtadhyayi and later praised in the Mahabharata as warriors who refused submission even to powerful neighbors. Their coinage, issued collectively in the name of the gana rather than any individual ruler, is one of the clearest numismatic expressions of early Indian republican governance. The copper series falls in the period when Gupta imperial expansion under Samudragupta was absorbing or subordinating precisely these kinds of tribal confederacies — the Allahabad Prasasti inscription lists the Yaudheyas among polities that offered submission.
