Vasudeva III
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vasudeva III was possibly the son of Vasudeva II and a ruler of the Kushan Empire c. 360-365 CE.
Reign
By the reign of Vasudeva III, the Kushan Empire had declined into insignificance. In the west the Sasanian Empire was a threat, and in the east local native people had regained their independence.[1]
Disputed existence
Existence of Vasudeva III has been disputed,[2] as has been the existence of his supposed father Vasudeva II.[3] No epigraphic evidence supports his existence.[4]
It has also been proposed, from numismatic evidence, that there may have been another Kushan ruler with the same name and regnal number as Vasudeva III.[5]
