paropamisadae

The Paropamisadae is an ancient area of the Hindu-Kush, in the Eastern part of Afghanistan. The territory is centered on the cities of Kabul and Charikar, around where the ancient cities of Kapisa and Begram have been identified. The name "Paropamisadae" comes from the Greek language, and was used extensively in Greek litterature to describe the conquests of Alexander the Great and those of the Greco-Bactrian and Indo-Greek kings, from the 3rd to the 1st century BCE.
