<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1705730, member: 26302&quot;]Taxila is a very, very difficult location to place coins. In the 2nd to 7th centuries it was one of the major crossroads of the world. It seems about every major power in central asia and India controlled the palce for a period of time. Situated where it is, and having the recurring theme of central asian powers becoming displaced and pushed into India, Taxila was constantly changing hands.</p><p><br /></p><p>No books cover this series very well. Michiner of course has tons, but his dating and attributions have been preempted many times in modern day. Most new activity in the area is being published in papers like ONS and journals.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I had to guess on coin #1, I would look possibly at Kidarite. SMAST cave complex gave us a ton of new bronze types. Maybe something related to SMAST research would give us an idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry I could not be of more help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
