Indo-Parthian kingdom
The Indo-Parthian kingdom, also known as Pahlavas or Pahlawas in ancient Sanskrit texts, was a syncretric kingdom founded by Gondophares and was active from 19 CE to c. 226 CE. At its zenith, it ruled an area covering parts of eastern Iran, various parts of Afghanistan and the northwest regions of the Indian subcontinent (most of modern Pakistan and parts of northwestern India).
