This is a Greek poster on X who writes about ancient coins.

In this post, Herakles Citharede refers to the Hellenistic Greco-Bactrian Kingdom which sprang up c. 256 BC - 120 AD. This occurred a number of decades after Alexander the Great's conquests of parts of Central Asia, when a local Seleucid satrap Diodotus I seceded.

"Renowned for its "thousand cities," it blended Greek and local cultures, producing advanced, highly regarded coinage that serves as the primary source for its history"


"At the crossroads of trade routes linking East and West, ancient Afghanistan, or Bactria, drew its prosperity from lapis lazuli, highly prized in Mesopotamia and Egypt, but above all from agriculture.

Thanks to the rivers born of the Hindu Kush mountains, narrow fertile strips stretched out, cultivated and developed since the Bronze Age over hundreds of kilometers.

There one found a large population, herds, an excellent cavalry, grains, fruits, vegetables, a few lush gardens, and welcome shade in the midst of an arid environment."
