A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Kushan Empire, a forgotten superpower that ruled Central Asia and northern India from the 1st to 3rd centuries CE. As the Silk Road's middlemen, the Kushans minted gold coins, sponsored Buddhist art, and connected Rome, Persia, China, and India. Lucas traces their origins from the nomadic Yuezhi, who fled into Bactria after being driven from the Gansu corridor by the Xiongnu. He explains how Kujula Kadphises unified five tribes into an empire, and how his successors—Vima Kadphises and the great Kanishka—expanded from the Tarim Basin to the Ganges. The episode delves into Kanishka's role in sponsoring the Fourth Buddhist Council in Kashmir, which codified Mahayana Buddhism and sent missionaries along the Silk Road. Lucas also highlights Kushan art from Gandhara, where Greek sculpting techniques merged with Buddhist themes. Luna asks about their mysterious script, Bactrian, written in Greek letters. The conversation ends with the empire's decline under the Sasanian Persians and the rise of the Gupta Empire. Listeners learn about the Rabatak inscription, the Silk Road's gold drain from Rome, and the Kushans' role in spreading Buddhism to China.
