Bactria is a region that straddles modern-day Afghanistan, Pakistan, China, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and a small part of Turkmenistan, located between the mountains of the l'Hindū Kūsh and the Amu Darya river. It is a state that was founded around the city of Bactra, which was its administrative capital as well as the centre of power. It was much larger formerly. Its limits were ; to the east, Scythia Extra Imaum ; to the west, Hyrcania, and included, between these regions, Margu, Ghurian, Bubacene, the land of the Tokhariens. At one time, Bactria was extremely isolated, the centre of a powerful and highly civilised empire. It was inhabited from the Bronze Age on, and was famous in Antiquity for its mineral wealth and agricultural prosperity. It was seen as a paradise with unlimited resources, enabling an enormous accumulation of wealth, mainly from nomadic peoples, which resulted in the great conquerors constantly trying to seize it.

Bactria est une région située entre l'Afghanistan moderne, le Pakistan, la Chine, le Tadjikistan, l'Ouzbékistan et une petite partie du Turkménistan, située entre les montagnes de l'Hindu Kūsh et la rivière Amu Darya. C'est un état fondéautour de la ville de Bactra, qui était sa capitale administrative et son centre de pouvoir. Dans le passé, c'était beaucoup plus grand. Ses limites étaient; à l'est, Scythia Extra Imaum; à l'ouest, Hyrcania, et comprenait, parmi ces régions, Margu, Ghurian, Bubacene, le pays des Tokhariens.

À une époque, la Bactria était extrêmement isolée, au centre d’un empire puissant et très civilisé. Il a été habité à partir de l'âge du bronze et était célèbre dans l'Antiquité pour sa richesse minérale et sa prospérité agricole. Il était perçu comme un paradis aux ressources illimitées, permettant une énorme accumulation de richesses, principalement de peuples nomades, ce qui a amené les grands conquérants à tenter de s’en emparer.
