Spalirises

Coin of Spalirises (together with Azes I.)

Spalirises was an Indo-Scythian king who lived around 75–65 BC. Ruled. He is practically only known from his coins.

Spalirises was possibly a vassal king of Vonones . He minted his first coins with this, at least a Spalahores appears there , which is equated with Spalirises. Then he minted his own coins and then appears on those from Azes I. His mintings were found in today's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan , which is likely to have corresponded roughly to his territory.
