This video traces the region’s evolution from an Achaemenid satrapy and pivotal Hellenistic outpost under Alexander the Great to its transformation into the Greco-Bactrian and later Indo-Greek realms. Explore how Greek settlers fused Hellenic art, coinage, and urban planning with Persian, Central Asian, and Indian influences, creating a vibrant hybrid culture that fostered trade along early Silk Road routes. Follow Bactria through waves of conquest—from Seleucid governors and Yuezhi nomads to the Kushan Empire—revealing how shifting powers turned the region into a melting pot of languages, religions, and ideas. By examining archaeological finds, classical chronicles, and numismatic evidence, this deep dive shows why Bactria served as a gateway for Buddhism into Central Asia, a nexus of East-West commerce, and a linchpin in the ancient world’s geopolitical chessboard. Whether you’re captivated by silk-road networks, Greco-Buddhist art, or forgotten empires, discover how the history of Bactria illuminates the interconnectedness of antiquity.
