Bactria (or Bactriana) was the name of a historical region in central Asia. Several important trade routes from India and China passed through Bactria from the Bronze Age onwards, which allowed for the accumulation of vast wealth by the predominantly nomadic population. Bactrian artworks and civilisation show strong characteristics of a mixed cultural complex, this was due to the different flourishing cultural influences on the area during the Bronze Age. Many Bactrian artworks were revealed to have been from the Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex (BMAC), an archaeological name designated for the bronze age civilisation of central Asia.
