Cash and Energy in Hellenistic Bactria: Euthydemus I to Antimachus I (Numismatic Research)

The historical past of Hellenistic Bactria (northern Afghanistan, and areas of Tajikistan and Uzbekistan) is especially obscure and its reconstruction contentious. Not like different Hellenistic kingdoms little or no proof survives from literary sources and inscriptions; the most effective major supply is the big amount of coinage issued underneath the Graeco-Bactrian kings who dominated the world from the third century to the mid second century BC. With restricted particulars of the discover spots of the cash and just a few printed hoards, their use has usually been restricted to a superficial evaluation of their iconography.
