| Popis | The purpose of this contribution is to analyse the importance of the king in the south-eastern part of the Silk Road in the period between the Antiquity and the Middle Ages. I will first characterize this type of ruler and then indicate in what different cultures we can encounter this type of ruler throughout history. Next, I will draw on primary sources in the form of written records, inscriptions, and selected archaeological sites to identify some of these defined characteristics to identify this sacred king in the setting of Southeast Asia, specifically contemporary Cambodia. |
