Such importation of artists and ideas appears to have been closely associated with and dependent on the extension of the foreign Kushān or Indo-Scythian empire, as it gradually advanced its borders from the Oxus to the Ganges, and possibly as far as the Narbadā.¹ Unfortunately, as already observed, the chronology of those times is uncertain; and until the chronological question, summed up as the problem of the date of Kanishka, shall be definitely solved, the exact relations of the art of Gandhāra with that of the Graeco-Roman world and India proper cannot be elucidated with all the precision desirable.
