<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 4588634, member: 26302&quot;]Yeah. The downfall of collecting Central Asian coins is the sadness of what was lost. Almost nothing is known for centuries at a time. We have tiny snippets from Chinese documents, we have coins that record long lost rulers and kingdoms, and a little archeology, (though this area of the world is notorious for any ruins discovered being lost forever). </p><p><br /></p><p>What we would give to discover a few books recording the history of Bactria/Sogdia/NW India from 300BC to 500 AD. So, so much was lost to time. While sad, it does make you feel a little better being a coin collector and buying books, supporting scholars trying to use coinage to piece together what history can be reconstructed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
