Pacores
Pacores was an Indo-Parthian king who ruled around AD 100. He is the last Indo-Parthian ruler known by name.
Pacores is known for coins minted in Seistan and Kandahar . Some of them are silver drachms. His tetradrachms are particularly numerous , the high number of which may indicate a longer reign. Many of his coins are struck by the Kushan ruler Vima Takto , who ruled before or at the same time.
After Pacores, a ruler whose name is unknown seems to have ruled, who is known from his coinage. After that, the Indo-Parthian kingdom appears to have been completely conquered by the Kushan.
