'''Jivadaman''' was a [[Saka]] ruler of the [[Western Kshatrapas]] in northwestern [[India]] from during the 2nd century CE. He was the son of [[Damajadasri I]] (170–175), and the brother of [[Satyadaman]].<ref>Rapson, p.cxxiii</ref>

==Biography==
The exact dating of Jivadaman's reign has been debated. He may have ruled as late as 121 (199 CE).<ref>http://coinindia.com/galleries-jivadaman.html</ref>

Jivadaman had no sons, and consequently he was succeeded by his cousin [[Rudrasena I (Saka king)|Rudrasena I]].<ref name="Sen1999">{{cite book|author=Sailendra Nath Sen|title=Ancient Indian History and Civilization|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Wk4_ICH_g1EC&pg=PA190|year=1999|publisher=New Age International|isbn=978-81-224-1198-0|page=190}}</ref>

==Coins of Jivadaman==
With Jivadaman, Western Satrap coins started to be minted with a date, recorded in [[Brāhmī script|Brahmi]] numerals behind the king's head.<ref>Rapson, p.cxxiv</ref> According to his coins, Jivadaman seems to have ruled two times, once between [[Saka Era]] 100 and 103 (178–181 CE), before the rule of [[Rudrasimha I]], and once between Saka Era 119 and 120 (197–198 CE).
