| History | : | Bactria is an ancient country lying between the mountains of the Hindu Kush and the ancient Oxus River and dates to circa the late 3rd to the early 1stmillennium B.C. Bactria was the Greek name for the area of Bactra (modern Balkh, Afghanistan) In the 1st millennium B.C. and later, Bactria was especially important from about 600 B.C., serving for much of the time as a meeting place not only for overland trade between East and West but also for the crosscurrents of religious and artistic ideas. Bactria's capital was Bactra, also called Bactra-Zariaspa (modern Balkh, Afghanistan). Bactria was a fertile country, and a profusion of mounds and abandoned water channels testifies to its ancient prosperity. The Greco-Bactrian Kingdom (or Graeco-Bactrian Kingdom) covered the areas of Bactria, the easternmost area of the Hellenistic world, from 250 B.C. to 125 B.C. The expansion of the Greco-Bactrian Empire into northern India from 180 B.C. established the Indo-Greek Kingdom. |
