Vonones (Indo-Scythians)
Vonones was an Indo-Scythian king who ruled in the first century BC (approx. 75–65 BC).
Vonones, who had a Parthian name, is practically only known from his coins. These show Greek legends, but also those in Kharoshthi . His brother Spalahores , who apparently ruled with him and also succeeded him, is also mentioned on the coins . In addition, Spaladagames, who was the son of Spalahores, is also mentioned.
