Over the next three hundred years, these settlements evolved into multiethnic, multilingual communities as much Greek as they were indigenous. To explore the lives and identities of the inhabitants of the Graeco-Bactrian and Indo-Greek kingdoms, Rachel Mairs marshals a variety of evidence, from archaeology, to coins, to documentary and historical texts. Looking particularly at the great city of Ai Khanoum, the only extensively excavated Hellenistic period urban site in Central Asia, Mairs explores how these ancient people lived, communicated, and understood themselves. Significant and original, The Hellenistic Far East will highlight Bactrian studies as an important part of our understanding of the ancient world. 606 $aGreeks$zAsia, Central$xAntiquities 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zAsia, Central 607 $aAsia, Central$xAntiquities 607 $aAy Kha?nom (Afghanistan)$xAntiquities 607 $aBactria$xAntiquities 610 $aai khanoum. 610 $aalexander the great. 610 $aalexandria on the oxus. 610 $aancient history. 610 $aancient people. 610 $aancient world. 610 $aantiquity. 610 $aarchaeology. 610 $abactria. 610 $acentral asia. 610 $acoins. 610 $aconquests of alexander the great. 610 $aeucratidia. 610 $aextensively excavated. 610 $agraeco bactrian kingdoms. 610 $agreece. 610 $agreek empire. 610 $agreek garrison. 610 $ahellenistic period. 610 $aindia. 610 $aindigenous peoples. 610 $aindo greek kingdoms. 610 $alate fourth century. 610 $amodern day afghanistan. 610 $amulti ethnic. 610 $amulti lingual. 610 $aurban site. 615 0$aGreeks$xAntiquities. 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 676 $a958/.01 686 $aHIS002000$2bisacsh 700 $aMairs$b Rachel$0611680 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809522503321 996 $aThe Hellenistic Far East$94121165 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01584nas 2200469-a 450 001 996336222103316 005 20240413025945.0 011 $a2047-5799 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2038841-X 035 $a(CKB)991042732755180 035 $a(CONSER)---97649721- 035 $a(EXLCZ)99991042732755180 100 $a19970311a19979999 --- - 101 0 $aeng 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aCountry report$iSlovakia /$fthe Economist Intelligence Unit 210 $aLondon $cThe Unit$dc1997- 215 $a1 online resource 311 $aPrint version: Country report.
