Spalagadames

Spalagadames (Kharosthi: 𐨭𐨿𐨤𐨫𐨒𐨡𐨨 Śpa-la-ga-da-ma, Śpalagadama ) was an Iranian king, who ruled Sakastan in the last quarter of the 1st-century BC after his father Spalahores, who was himself possibly a brother of king Vonones. Spalagadames has been suggested by the Iranologist Khodadad Rezakhani to be the same figure as the first Indo-Parthian king Gondophares ((r. 19 – 46)).

Name
Spalagadames's name is attested on his coins in the Kharosthi form Śpalagadama (𐨭𐨿𐨤𐨫𐨒𐨡𐨨), which is derived from the Saka name *Spalagadama, meaning "commander of army".
