"This is the first attempt of its kind at critically studying the Indian coinage of any period from all possible angles, and presenting Indian numismatics as a distinct science. This monograph deals with the coinage issued by numerous princes of Greek origin, who in the second century B.C. established small kingdoms in Bactria, Afghanistan, Sindh, Baluchistan and parts of the Panjab. Literature takes very little notice of these princes. Coins remain our main source of information. The present work lays down, for the first time and at one place, the precise laws for interpreting history from the contemporary coinage, and also points out the limitations inherent in this type of evidence. It demolishes many a misconceived theory on which the scholars had hitherto placed unwarrented trust, and puts the Greco-S'unga history in correct perspective." - from dustjacket blurb.
