Azilises was an Indo-Scythian king who ruled in the region of northwestern India and parts of present-day Pakistan during the late 1st century BCE, approximately between 57–35 BCE. He succeeded King Azes I and continued to consolidate the power of the Indo-Scythians after the decline of Indo-Greek dominance. Azilises is primarily known through his bilingual coinage, featuring inscriptions in Greek and Kharosthi, which reflect the cultural and political fusion of Hellenistic and South Asian traditions. His reign was marked by the continuation of trade and stability in the region, maintaining the legacy of Indo-Scythian control over key trade routes and territories. Although detailed historical records are scarce, his rule contributed to the broader period of transition between Indo-Greek and Indo-Scythian influence in the subcontinent.
