Abstract

The gold coin found in 1978 among the many treasures of the Tillya Tepe burials in northwestern Afghanistan by the Russian archaeologist Viktor Sarianidi and his team has provoked much debate. Suggestions have been made that it depicts the first representation of the Buddha. This article shows that it does not show the Buddha, but Heracles, representing the Buddha’s guardian Vajrapani. The coin also throws into doubt the early first century CE date of the burials, placing them in the late first century to early second century CE.. The coin also draws attention to the connection between many objects in the burials and Gandhāra, particularly the site of Sirkap at Taxila.

Tillya Tepe金币与Gandhāran与Tillya Tepe墓葬的联系

1978年，俄罗斯考古学家Viktor Sarianidi和他的团队在阿富汗西北部Tillya Tepe墓葬的众多宝藏中发现了这枚金币，这引发了许多争论。有人认为它描绘了佛陀的第一个形象。这篇文章表明，它展示的不是佛陀，而是赫拉克勒斯，代表着佛陀的守护者金刚尼。这枚硬币也使人们对公元一世纪初的埋葬日期产生了怀疑，将其放置在公元一世纪末至二世纪初。。这枚硬币还引起了人们对墓葬中许多物品与Gandhāra之间联系的关注，尤其是Taxila的Sirkap遗址。

期刊介绍： The American Oriental Society is the oldest learned society in the United States devoted to a particular field of scholarship. The Society was founded in 1842, preceded only by such distinguished organizations of general scope as the American Philosophical Society (1743), the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1780), and the American Antiquarian Society (1812). From the beginning its aims have been humanistic. The encouragement of basic research in the languages and literatures of Asia has always been central in its tradition. This tradition has come to include such subjects as philology, literary criticism, textual criticism, paleography, epigraphy, linguistics, biography, archaeology, and the history of the intellectual and imaginative aspects of Oriental civilizations.
