CHIONITE RULERS OF CHACH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FOURTH TO THE BEGINNING OF THE SEVENTH CENTURY (ACCORDING TO THE DATA OF NUMISMATICS)

This paper discusses the Chionite dynasty, which ruled in Chach from the middle of the fourth to the beginning of the seventh century, and their coins. Careful study of their coins has allowed us to read the names of the Chionite rulers of Chach and to establish their line of succession. Coins show that the Chionites used an East Iranian language and were probably one of the East Iranian ethnic groups.
