'''Radhamitra''' (or '''Radhamita''') was a king of [[Kosambi]], the capital of one of the previously independent [[India]]n [[Mahajanapadas]] known before as [[Vatsa]]. He was part of the [[Magha dynasty]], and was likely one of the earliest kings in the dynasty.<ref name="Olivelle2006"/><ref name="BopearachchiPieper1998"/>
It is likely that the Magha dynasty started its independent rule in Vatsa after the [[Maurya Empire]] fragmented into many smaller states,<ref name="Conference1988"></ref> or with the following weakening of the succeeding [[Shunga Empire]].<ref name="Mitchiner1978"></ref>
Like with most other kings of Kosambi his name ends with ''mitra''.<ref name="Olivelle2006"></ref>
==Coins of Radhamitra==
Some of the coins of Radhamitra are known for their unusual [[hexagon]]al shape. They were manufactured by [[Casting (metalworking)|casting]], but they were made to closely resemble [[punch-marked coins]]. The civic coinage of Vatsa are known for their wide innovation in shapes of coins.<ref name="Olivelle2006"/><ref name="BopearachchiPieper1998"></ref>
The symbols in one of his series of coins make a clear connection with other rulers of Kosambi such as [[Asvaghosa (ruler)|Asvaghosa]], [[Brhaspatimitra]], [[Agnimitra (Magha dynasty)|Agnimitra]], [[Sarpamitra]], [[Prajapatimitra]], [[Jyesthamitra]] and [[Prausthamitra]]. The coins cast by these rulers portray similar symbols in obverse and reverse sides of their coins. However, the exact chronology of these coins has not been extensively and conclusively studied yet. The civic coinage has been thought to precede the nominative coinage of the kings.<ref name="Olivelle2006"/>
Coins of Radhamitra notably do not contain the symbol known as the tree-in-railing. All other rulers of Kosambi use the symbol in their coins.<ref name="Goyala1994"></ref>
