Vima Takto - Rule

Rule

Vima Takto was long known as "The nameless King", since his coins only showed the legend "The King of Kings, Great Saviour", until the discovery of the Rabatak inscription helped connect his name with the title on the coins.

Vima Takto's empire covered northwestern India and Bactria towards China, where Kushan presence has been asserted in the Tarim Basin. Under his reign, embassies were also sent to the Chinese court.

Famous quotes containing the word rule:

    Resolved to ruin or to rule the state.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)

    “Reason is an exception in me, too,” said Zarathustra: “Chaos and necessity and spinning stars—that is also the rule in the wisest world.”
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    To me the “female principle” is, or at least historically has been, basically anarchic. It values order without constraint, rule by custom not by force. It has been the male who enforces order, who constructs power structures, who makes, enforces, and breaks laws.
    Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
