贵霜帝国与丝路文明互动以钱币为视角的宏观考察

Interactions between the Kushan Empire and the Civilizations along the Silk Road:A Comprehensive Examination from the Coinage

贵霜钱币的出现和发展实际上是丝路多元文化互动的结果。希腊化钱币在早期丝绸之路上的传播和影响是大月氏人和贵霜人能够发行本民族钱币的前提。作为宣扬王权、巩固统治的手段,贵霜统治者不断依据现实需要,将丝路不同的文化展现在自己的钱币之上,使之成为丝路多元文化互动的舞台,并影响了之后萨珊波斯人、寄多罗人和嚈哒人的钱币多元化。

The emergence and development of the Kushan coins are actually the results of multicultural interactions along the Silk Road.The reasons for the issuance of coins of Da Yuezhi and the Kushanas was the spread and influence of Hellenistic coins on the early Silk Road.As a mean to promote royal authority and consolidate their rule,the Kushan Emperor incorporated the elements of different cultures along the Silk Road into their coins,made those coins a platform for multicultural interaction along the Silk Road.These practices also influence the diversity of coins among the Sassanids,Kidarites and Hephthalites.
