<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 6278603, member: 110226&quot;]Thank you, Nathan for your article on this little known, for me, part of the ancient world.&nbsp; I am afraid that my knowledge of Bactria and the successive Indo-Greek kingdoms end with Alexander&#039;s retreat from India in the later part of the 4th century BC, which is to say next to nothing.&nbsp; From that point on, aside from my interest in the imitative Athenian coins of Bactria and other adjoining kingdoms, there is a void, a void which has been filled by your illuminating article.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a connectedness to the world, then and now, and it is always a pleasure to understand another dimension to this web of history.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do have some Bactrian coins, as well as an Indo-Greek tetradrachm that I hope to photograph, perhaps tomorrow.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the meantime, here is my little Bactrian obol of Eucratides.&nbsp; MIG 181a, Bop 9C.</p><p><br /></p><p>.69 grams</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1248669[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Welcome back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
