ABSTRACT
By the early 230s, rebel satraps had broken from Seleucid control and established an independent Graeco-Bactrian kingdom. Seleucid sovereignty was reimposed over the region by Antiochus III in 206 bc. Around 145, nomadic invaders from beyond the Oxus river destroyed Aï Khanoum, and further invasions of Bactria c. 130 erased almost all traces of Greek civilization in the region.
