摘要

本文研究的是 Kuṣāṇ 国王 Kujūla Kadphises 统治时期（约公元 40/50-90 年）发行的一种铜币，称为 "罗马皇帝型"。这些钱币的年代大约在公元 1 世纪末，正面是一位统治者的形象，让人想起朱利奥-克劳迪时期的帝国肖像，背面则是 Kujūla 本人的坐像。这枚钱币是古印度钱币史上的一个真正的创新，可以作为一个起点来理解库贾拉在库萨(Kuṣāṇs)仍处于萌芽阶段的背景下所做出的政治选择。本文通过我们所掌握的文学、书信和考古资料，旨在证明这种钱币的发行不仅受到罗马人在印度所拥有的权威光环的影响，而且主要受到该城市的经济和宗教背景的影响。

Kujūla Kadphises’ “Roman” Coin: an Issue for Merchants

The paper studies a copper coin type issued during the reign of the Kuṣāṇ king Kujūla Kadphises (ca. 40/50–90 AD) called “Roman Emperor Type”. These coins, dated towards the end of the first century AD, present on the obverse the image of a ruler recalling the imperial iconography of the Julio-Claudian period, and on the reverse Kujūla himself seated. The coin is a real innovation in the history of ancient Indian numismatics and can be the starting point to understand the political choices of Kujūla in a context still embryonic for the Kuṣāṇs. This paper, through the literary, epigraphic, and archaeological sources at our disposal, aims to demonstrate that the issuing was influenced not only by the halo of authority that the Romans had in India, but mainly by the economic and religious context of the city, which the sovereign used as a place of experimentation for this particular hybrid type of coin.
