Historical background
Bactria lay between the Hindu Kush and the Amu Darya in today's northern Afghanistan, with its capital at Bactra, today's Balkh. After Alexander the Greco-Bactrian Kingdom arose here around 250 BC, a distant outpost of Hellenistic culture. Around 130 BC nomads such as the Yuezhi overran the land; from them the Kushan Empire emerged in the 1st century AD.
