Azes I
Azes I (57-35 BCE) was an Indo-Scythian ruler who completed the domination of the Scythians in northern India.
Although Maues and his successors had conquered the areas of Gandhara, as well as the area of Mathura from 85 BCE, they were unsuccessful against the Indo-Greek kings remaining behind the Jhelum River in eastern Punjab. The Indo-Greek Hippostratos (65-55 BCE) finally lost to Azes I after a long resistance.
