Greco-Buddhism

 Buddhism was born in India, but it was Hellenism that transformed it into a universal artistic and cultural force.

The map represents the maximum envelope of Hellenic operations in Asia. The northern and eastern boundaries reflect the permanent administrative limits of Greco-Bactria, validated by the excavations at Ai-Khanoum and trade indicators in Kashgar. The eastern and southern sectors in India differentiate between permanent administration, stopping near Mathura, and maximum military campaign limits, extending to Pataliputra in the east, and Barygaza and Surat in the south. These campaigns are fully documented in contemporary Indian texts like the Yuga Purana and Patanjali’s Mahabhasya.

Crucially, the map separates military conquest from mercantile activity. While the Indo-Greek army’s southern campaigns halted at Surat, all points further south, beginning at Simylla and extending to the deep southern colonies, reflect purely peaceful maritime trading posts. These commercial settlements are verified by Ptolemy’s Geography and corroborated by extensive Roman-Hellenistic pottery excavations at sites like Arikamedu, identified with Poduca.
