THE COINS OF THE GREEK AND SCYTHIAN KINGS IN BACTRIA AND INDIA FULL BOOK PDF


A book of the British Museum about the royal coinage of the Greek and Scythian Kings in Bactria and India .
For those who wish to read it, it's available below, in pdf form for free. We should point out that this is a quite old edition; therefore the some names,  are written in a different manner- for example, the name of Kanishka is written as 'Kanirkes'. This is probably because the pronunciation of the letter ϸ (sometimes called sho or san), which was a letter added to the Greek alphabet which was used in the writing of the Bactrian language, was still not clear during the time when this book was written.
