- Abstract
- Investigations at Kampyr-Tepe in southern Uzbekistan have been conducted for over 30 years. Every year the excavations brought new and often unique finds. The latter include the small silver coin found at the citadel of Kampyr-Tepe in 2004. The coin is an imitation of an obol of the Greco-Bactrian king Eucratides (circa 171— 145 BC). The article tells of the political events connected with the fall of Greco-Bactria and the emergence and history of the Great Yuezhi state. One of the markers to determine the political boundaries and territories of the Great Yuezhi is the distribution areas of coins from certain groups of imitations. The article discusses the features of minting and the area of "barbarian" imitations, mainly Eucratides' obols. On the basis of the analysis of all the data the author concludes that at present it would be premature to assume the existence of a political entity which facilitated their coinage.
