Sases, also known as Gondophares IV Sases (Kharosthi: 𐨒𐨂𐨡𐨂𐨥𐨪 𐨯𐨯 ', '), sometimes Sasan, was an Indo-Parthian king and Apracharaja who ruled in Gandhara. He is only known from coins and ruled for at least 26 years after succeeding Gondophares. At some point during his reign he assumed the title Gondophares, which was held by the supreme Indo-Parthian rulers.
With the modern datings supplied by Robert Senior, Gondophares IV is a likely candidate for several possible historical references to Indo-Parthian kings of the 1st century AD. Traditionally, these references have been thought to be about Gondophares I, as earlier scholars did not realise that "Gondophares" became a title after the death of this king, just as the name of the first emperor, Augustus, in the Roman Empire, was used by all later emperors as a title.
