In the mind of the early third century AD Greek biographer of the philosopher Apollonius of Tyana, Greek culture was alive and well in northwestern India in the first century AD. He described Apollonius’ visits to sites where Alexander the Great was still commemorated with statues and temples. When he met Phraotes the king of Taxila, Apollonius was amazed to discover that he spoke Greek: ‘And he asked the question of him in the Greek tongue. Greek rule in the East lasted for about three centuries, and numismatic evidence shows it progressively moving its centre of power further eastwards as it lost territory to invaders from Inner Asia and Iran. Bactria, north of the Hindu Kush was gradually lost to the Greeks from the mid-second century BC. The last kings Heliokles I, Demetrios II, Eukratides II and Plato appear to have ruled a diminishing rump of the Bactrian kingdom down into the first century BC
