Description:
A 2,400-year-old silver-gilt disc found in 1969 at Ai Khanum, a Hellenistic city in northern Afghanistan, shows a lion-drawn chariot, goddesses, an altar, and a celestial sphere with sun, moon, and a rayed deity.
Paul Stonehill walks through the French excavation, the Cybele and Nike reading, and how this Greco-Bactrian object sits at the edge of the ancient oikoumene, later reused on the path to the Kushan world.
