Azes II
Indo-Scythian king · Died 12 BC
Azes II, may have been the last Indo-Scythian king, speculated to have reigned circa 35-12 BCE, in what is now Pakistan. His existence has been questioned; if he did not exist, artefacts attributed to his reign, such as coins, are likely to be those of Azes I.
Azes II is read about 18 times a day, in 12 languages.
A typical day, 30 days to 18 August 2026
The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
