Alexandria On The Caucasus - Archaeology

Archaeology

Some archaeological evidence concerning Alexandria of the Caucasus was gathered by Charles Masson (1800–1853), providing insight into the history of that lost city. His findings include coins, rings, seals and other small objects. In the 1930s Roman Ghirshman, while conducting excavations near Bagram, found Egyptian and Syrian glassware, bronze statuettes, bowls and other objects including statues. This is an indication that Alexander's conquests have opened India to imports from the west.

Today the cities remains feature a rectangular tell 500 by 200 metres in area and a nearby circular citadel about 3 kilometre north east of Bagram Airforce base.
