“The image of the ancient fasces (bundled birch rods and axes) was already old when Rome adopted it as a symbol of state.”
James A. Millward, The Silk Road: A Very Short Introduction

“There is an erroneous tendency to view empire-building by rulers from urban-agrarian kingdoms (Alexander, for example) as strategic genius, while treating nomad imperial conquests like natural disasters.”
James A. Millward, The Silk Road: A Very Short Introduction

“Displaced from the Chinese frontier, the Yuezhi and confederated tribes evolved by the first century CE into the Kushan Empire, a state that combined Central Asian nomadic with Persian, Indian, and Hellenic influences, at the hub of the Old World land-and-sea trade routes.”
James A. Millward, The Silk Road: A Very Short Introduction
