There seems to be little info on Kushans, but their culture was very unique by the fact it was a mix of their Yuezhi heritage, with Iranian, Steppe, and some Indian elements. Their rulers appearance is well pictured, some of their goverment, is there anything worth adding? Ok, in these cases anything is worth adding right?  |

Hmmm... that's right. They absorbed much of the Greco-Bactrian culture, but how extended it was? At the very beginning they used their alphabet, but it seems that this influence decreased later.

By the way, anyone knows a Kushan emblem or symbol? anything they used to identify themselves.
