Holt sets out to rediscover the ancient civilization of Bactria. In a gripping narrative informed by the author's deep knowledge of his subject, this book covers two centuries of Bactria's history, from its colonization by remnants of Alexander the Great's army to the kingdom's collapse at the time of a devastating series of nomadic invasions. Beginning with the few tantalizing traces left behind when the 'empire of a thousand cities' vanished, Holt takes up that trail and follows the remarkable and sometimes perilous journey of rediscovery.Lost World of the Ancient King describes how a single bit of evidence-a Greek coin-launched a search that drew explorers to the region occupied by the tumultuous warring tribes of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Afghanistan. Coin by coin, king by king, the history of Bactria was reconstructed using the emerging methodologies of numismatics. In the twentieth century, extraordinary ancient texts added to the evidence. Finally, one of the 'thousand cities' was discovered and excavated, revealing an opulent palace, treasury, temple, and other buildings. Though these great discoveries soon fell victim to the Afghan political crisis that continues today, this book provides a thrilling chronicle of the search for one of the world's most enigmatic empires.Hellenistic Culture and SocietyGreeksAfghanistanHistoryTo 1500Coins, GreekBactriaCoins, GreekAfghanistanBactriaCivilizationBactriaAntiquitiesAfghanistanCivilizationAfghanistanAntiquitiesElectronic books.GreeksHistoryCoins, GreekCoins, Greek939/.6Holt Frank Lee171564MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465858003321Lost world of the golden king2458637UNINA01926nam0 2200433 i 450 VAN012492320230630100538.868O978331972449220191028d2018 |0itac50 baengCH|||| |||||Operator Theory, Operator Algebras, and Matrix TheoryCarlos André ...
