A proposito di questo titolo

While the Mauryas and Guptas are well-known, the Kushan Empire was a forgotten superpower that connected India to Rome and Han China. From their Central Asian origins as the Yuezhi nomads, the Kushans built an empire stretching from the Oxus to the Ganges. Their greatest emperor, Kanishka, ruled from his capital Purushapura (modern Peshawar) and presided over a multicultural realm where Buddhism flourished and Gandharan art blended Greek and Indian styles. The Kushans minted gold coins that rivaled Roman aureus, traded silk and spices across the Silk Road, and even received ambassadors from Rome. Yet their legacy is often overlooked. This episode explores how the Kushans shaped Indian history, their role in spreading Buddhism to China, and the mystery of their sudden decline. We'll discuss Kanishka's coinage, the Fourth Buddhist Council, and the vibrant city of Mathura under Kushan rule.
