I bought the group lot of coins published by the author of the new ANS book on Kushan coinage at the CNG auction. Whole box, I just stuck into the SDB after a quick glance. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>People from South Asia still remember the Kushan empire, or at least have cultural memory of them.
