This article lists the forms of representation and the sources of legitimation of royal power in the Kushan kingdom (1st-3rd centuries CE): numismatics, iconography, and dynastic shrines. The relationship with deities and the ancestors’ worship, which are major themes in this field of research, link the Kushan dynastic temples to a group of comparable royal shrines, mostly situated on the outskirt of the Iranian world. A comparison with Eurasian traditions may represent a promising path for future investigation.

Abstract
This article lists the forms of representation and the sources of legitimation of royal power in the Kushan kingdom (1st-3rd centuries CE): numismatics, iconography, and dynastic shrines. The relationship with deities and the ancestors’ worship, which are major themes in this field of research, link the Kushan dynastic temples to a group of comparable royal shrines, mostly situated on the outskirt of the Iranian world. A comparison with Eurasian traditions may represent a promising path for future investigation.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
