Arta (Kamuia)
Arta (Greek: , ΑΡΤΑΥΟΥ ''Artauou'' (epigraphic); Kharoshthi: ', ') was the elder brother of the well known Gandhara ruler Maues or Moga. Name Arta's name is attested in the Greek form () and in the Kharosthi form (), which are derived from the Saka name ', meaning "pious". Scholarly view Kharahostes's own coins attest that ''Kshatrapa Kharaostes'' was the son of Arta: :Kshatrapasa pra Kharaostasa Artasa putrasa (i.e. ''Kshatrapa Kharaosta, son of Arta''). Some of Kharaosta's known coins write ''Ortas'' instead of ''Artas''. Scholars state that Yuvaraja Kharaosta Kamuio of the Lion Capital Inscriptions is the same as Kshatrapa Kharaosta, whose coins have been studied by Dr Rapson and Dr Luders. It is now generally agreed that Kshatrapa Kharaosta was son Arta, and that Yuvaraja Kharaosta and Kshatrapa Kharaosta were one and same historical personage. The Inscriptions A and E on the Mathura Lion Capital style Kharaosta as ''Yuvaraya'' Kharaosta Kamuio. Based on t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Artas Of Messapia
Artas () or Artus () (ruled ''c.'' 430 – 413 BC) was a king of the Messapians. Artas was a strong ally of Athens during the Pelopponesian War and led an anti-Spartan campaign against Taras. Artas is also called Artos and in Greek is known as 'Bread-man'. Artas made an alliance with Athens around 430 BC. The Iapygians placed the colony of Taras under constant pressure throughout the 5th century BC and indeed in the 4th century BC and the Hellenistic period as well. For the Athenians to align themselves with Artas was an anti-Tarentine and thus an anti-Spartan act. The Athenian cultivation of Artas was therefore a good way to create difficulties for the Spartan colony of Taras. His friendship was similar to the Athenian alliance with Metapontion. In 418 BC, Artas renewed his old friendship with Athens at the time when Athens was beginning its Sicilian Expedition and was a ''proxenos'' of Athens. In 413 BC, Artas supplied the Athenians with one hundred and fifty javel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Messapians
The Messapians were an Iapygian tribe who inhabited Salento in classical antiquity. Two other Iapygian tribes, the Peucetians and the Daunians, inhabited central and northern Apulia respectively. All three tribes spoke the Messapian language, but had developed separate archaeological cultures by the seventh century BC. The Messapians lived in the eponymous region Messapia, which extended from Leuca in the southeast to Kailia and Egnatia in the northwest, covering most of the Salento peninsula. This region includes the Province of Lecce and parts of the provinces of Brindisi and Taranto today. Starting in the third century BC, Greek and Roman writers distinguished the indigenous population of the Salento peninsula differently. According to Strabo, the names ''Iapygians'', ''Daunians'', ''Peucetians'' and ''Messapians'' were exclusively Greek and not used by the natives, who divided the Salento in two parts. The southern and Ionian part of the peninsula was the territory of t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
