[QUOTE="brassnautilus, post: 2159585, member: 74300"]to continue what I was saying before lunch... This type of coinage (striking coins out of precious metal) was a greek tradition, and alexander the great only went to india, that's not where Huns originated or remotely close to their route of migration. One could argue there could had been hunnic imitation of roman coinage, but even those had existed, they wouldn't be related to greco-bactrian styles. European historians had been purposely mixing the huns with these southern kingdoms for centuries for whatever reasons. These are not all related, and really shouldn't all be called "huns". Attila's huns = black huns = people that crossed the volga and attacked rome Kidaritae/chronitae = Altaic = Iranian Bactrians they are related to Hepthaltites = Hua = Altaic without the Oghur Turkic section.[/QUOTE]
