Historical background


BACTRIA - BACTRIAN KINGDOM - ANTIALCIDAS

(130-120 BC)

Antialcidas, warrior king is a contemporary of Straton and Lysias with whom he seems to share part of Bactria. The history of the Greek kingdoms seems very complex at the turn of the 1st century BC and we have very little information.
