DESCRIPTION: HELLENISTIC INTERACTIONS WITH THE QIN KINGDOM\n\nAnthony Barbieri \nProfessor of Early Chinese History UC Santa Barbara\n\n \nDuring the third century BCE, the Qin Kingdom, with its capital near present-day Xi’an, experienced rapid political and artistic development, culminating in the Qin conquest of continental East Asia by 221 BCE and the establishment of the first territorial empire in China under Ying Zheng, the First Emperor of China. For most of the last two millennia, this development was considered an isolated, indigenous phenomenon, characterized by the emergence of imperial institutions and culture. However, in recent decades, scholars have engaged in research exploring the external influences and stimuli that impacted the Qin state, coming from Central Asia and further west. This presentation delves into the archaeological, artistic, and institutional evidence that demonstrates contact between the Hellenistic Greco-Bactrian Kingdom (located in present-day Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan) and the Qin state in China during the third century BCE. \n
