<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2507573, member: 76194&quot;]Things might be trickier with Indian coins. Obviously Indo-Greek influence dissipated by the 1st or 2nd century AD, so is everything after that was medieval? Makes no sense to do it that way.</p><p><br /></p><p>So if we then look to Muslim influence in India, it was very marginal until the mid-800s. Although there was a Muslim kingdom established in Northern India in 711, it was quickly abandoned and most Indians back then were never aware it even existed. So it doesn&#039;t seem fair to say medieval period started there when it didn&#039;t affect 98%+ of Indians, and the effects were minimal at best. It wasn&#039;t until the mid-800s that Muslims really started to make major in rows and become significant in northern India.&nbsp;&nbsp; Would you say the ancient world ended then and medieval India began? Keep in mind Muslims didn&#039;t really affect central India and many places in Northern India in any major extent until the 1000&#039;s, so that might make it even trickier.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
