Kanishka III
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Kanishka III was a Kushan emperor who reigned for a short period around the year 268 CE. He is believed to have succeeded Vasishka and was succeeded by Vasudeva II.
In an inscription dated to the "Year 41" (probably of the 2nd century of the Kanishka era) and discovered on the borders of the river Ara in Punjab, he qualifies himself as a Kaisara ("Caesar"), suggesting some awareness of the Roman Empire, and names himself as the son of Vashishka.[1]
