Sasan (45-50 CE) was an Indo-Scythian king, and the nephew of Aspavarma, whom he succeeded.[1] As indicated by coins hoards and overstrikes, Sasan is thought to have been a contemporary of Kujula Kadphises and Mujatria.[2]
He ruled in the Bajaur area of modern Pakistan, and is considered one of the Apraca rulers. He is essentially known through his coins.
