Indo-Greek Kingdom

The Indo-Greek Kingdom was a series of Hellenistic states established in parts of present-day India and Pakistan between the 2nd century BCE and the 1st century CE. Following the conquests of Alexander the Great, Greek rulers, known as Indo-Greeks, governed these regions, blending Greek and Indian cultures. They are notable for their contributions to art, language, and trade, as well as for promoting Buddhism and other religions. The Indo-Greek coins and inscriptions reveal a unique fusion of Greek and Indian elements, showcasing the cultural exchanges that occurred during this period in history.
