Kushan Empire

3 posts
I got around to cataloging my Kushan Empire coin and noticed that we have duplicates in the database.

It seems that part of the confusion comes from putting the Kushan Empire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kushan) in either ancient India or in Indo-Scythia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Scythians).

Parts of the Kushan Empire were in India, but other parts were China, Nepal, Pakistan, etc.

Should we have a separate entry for the Kushan Empire?  We don't stick the Roman Empire under modern Italy.  Thoughts?
Hi,
The two coins you posted are not duplicates. You can see the difference if you compare the pictures and details.

  The debate about Indo-Scythian vs. India Ancient is valid. It was brought before too in the forum. I guess it will be better to move all Indo-Scythian coins (Including kushana coins) to "Indo-Scythia" section.

Yeah, duplicates is probably not the best word.  I mean they are clearly similar types of coins, issued under the same king, with similar dies, but they are listed as being in different countries.
